Deprecate simple-encoder and simple-display-pipe helpers in favor of
regular atomic helpers. Remove the related documentation. Add TODO
item for converting the remaining drivers.
These helpers have been deprecated for years and many drivers have
been updated to not use them. Still there are a few left and we
occasionally receive new drivers build upon them. Marking them as
deprecated will hopefully resolve these problems. The TODO items
should be easy enough for getting new voluteers started on DRM driver
development.

Also fix a few places in gpu docs that are still relevant, and add a
bunch of .mailmap entries.

Learning about the DRM subsystem could be quite overwhelming for newcomers
but there are lots of useful talks, slides and articles available that can
help to understand the needed concepts and ease the learning curve.
There are also simple DRM drivers that can be used as example about how a
DRM driver should look like.
Add sections to the introduction page, that contains references to these.

While splitting the document up, the headings "shifted" from what pandoc
generated. Use the following order for headings for consistency:
==============
Document title
==============
First
=====
Second
------
Third
~~~~~
Leave the lower level headings as they are; I think those are less
important. Although RST doesn't mandate a specific order ("Rather than
imposing a fixed number and order of section title adornment styles, the
order enforced will be the order as encountered."), having the higher
levels the same overall makes it easier to follow the documents.
[I'm sort of kind of writing the recommendation for docs-next in the
mean time, but this order seems sensible, and is what I'm proposing.]
