Thorsten Leemhuis cbbdb6c625 docs: bug-bisect: rewrite to better match the other bisecting text
Rewrite the short document on bisecting kernel bugs. The new text
improves .config handling, brings a mention of 'git bisect skip', and
explains what to do after the bisection finished -- including trying a
revert to verify the result. The rewrite at the same time removes the
unrelated and outdated section on 'Devices not appearing' and replaces
some sentences about bug reporting with a pointer to the document
covering that topic in detail.

This overall brings the approach close to the one in the recently added
text Documentation/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.rst.
As those two texts serve a similar purpose for different audiences,
mention that document in the head of this one and outline when the
other might be the better one to follow.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
