Documentation/mm: add descriptions for arch page table helpers

This adds a specific description file for all arch page table helpers which
is in sync with the semantics being tested via CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. All
future changes either to these descriptions here or the debug test should
always remain in sync.

[anshuman.khandual@arm.com: fold in Mike's patch for the rst document, fix typos in the rst document]

===============================
Architecture Page Table Helpers
===============================
Generic MM expects architectures (with MMU) to provide helpers to create, access
and modify page table entries at various level for different memory functions.
These page table helpers need to conform to a common semantics across platforms.
Following tables describe the expected semantics which can also be tested during
boot via CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE option. All future changes in here or the debug
test need to be in sync.
