docs: update the development process document
Here's a set of changes updating Documentation/development-process. I have
update kernel releases and relevant statistics, added information for a
couple of tools, zapped some trailing white space, and generally tried to
make it more closely match the current state of affairs.
[Typo fixes from Joe Perches and Nicolas Kaiser incorporated]
