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] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Acked-by: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>
