sysfs documentation is supposed to go in Documentation/ABI/.
However, /sys/block/<disk>/queue/* are documented in
Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.rst, and sometimes redundantly in
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-block too.
Let's consolidate this documentation into Documentation/ABI/.
Therefore, copy the relevant docs from queue-sysfs.rst into sysfs-block.
This primarily means adding the 25 missing files that were documented in
queue-sysfs.rst only, as well as mentioning the RO/RW status of files.
Documentation/ABI/ requires "Date" and "Contact" fields. For the Date
fields, I used the date of the commit which added support for each file.
For the "Contact" fields, I used linux-block.

Sort the documentation for the files alphabetically by file path so that
there is a logical order and it's clear where to add new files.
With two small exceptions, this patch doesn't change the documentation
itself and just reorders it:
- In /sys/block/<disk>/<part>/stat, I replaced <part> with <partition>
to be consistent with the other files.
- The description for /sys/block/<disk>/<part>/stat referred to another
file "above", which I reworded.

The block layer sysfs ABI is widely used by userspace software and is
considered stable.
