Description

Addition of closely coupled kernel userspace. the public spec is available at:

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-closely-coupled-kernel-userspace-releases/80724

this was also reviewed internally for a while to try and clean up specifics. The goal is an allowance for userspace tools that are tightly coupled to the kernel to more easily be backported to older series. The minimum goal is to at least match the userspace tool to the HWE kernel, with an allowance for further backports as long as compatibility is strongly stated by the upstream project.

Adds btrfs-progs page as the first example of following the process.

also contains minor fixup commits to the docs, as I was going through to find all the correct places to update

make comments hidden. Opened issue 587 to track the comments. Makes for
cleaner end-user documentation without losing the TODOs
There was a comment saying "add the SRU template and document." The
sru-bug-template page already has explanations under each heading.
Added a brief explanation of the sru-bug-template page, and follow on
work can expand the sru bug template if it is not correct (including
opening an issue for the work).
Added more info to [ Test Plan ] in SRU bug-template, focusing on how to
break up instructions and providing clear returns.
moved all "TODOs" to comments in the code. opened issue 592 to track.
Following internal and external review of a spec for closely coupled
kernel userspace tools, adding the requirements page, add to the TOC for
standard processes, and adds page to index TOC

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-closely-coupled-kernel-userspace-releases/80724
In accordance with the closely-couple-kernel-userspace statements, added
information for btrfs-progs. This states the testing methods that must
be used, the addition of tests that must occur, and other assurances
related to availability and backwards compatibility.
