This list started as a "when to prefer `expect`" list, but at some point
during writing I changed it to a "prefer `expect` unless..." one. However,
the first bullet remained, which does not make sense anymore.
Thus remove it. In addition, fix nearby typo.

Discuss `#[expect(...)]` in the Lints sections of the coding guidelines
document, which is an upcoming feature in Rust 1.81.0, and explain that
it is generally to be preferred over `allow` unless there is a reason
not to use it (e.g. conditional compilation being involved).

In the C side, disabling diagnostics locally, i.e. within the source code,
is rare (at least in the kernel). Sometimes warnings are manipulated
via the flags at the translation unit level, but that is about it.
In Rust, it is easier to change locally the "level" of lints
(e.g. allowing them locally). In turn, this means it is easier to
globally enable more lints that may trigger a few false positives here
and there that need to be allowed locally, but that generally can spot
issues or bugs.
Thus document this.

An unordered list in coding-guidelines.rst was indented, producing
a blockquote around it and making it look more indented than expected.
Remove the indentation to only output an unordered list.

Some of our links use relative paths in order to point to files in the
source tree, e.g.:
//! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](../../../../include/linux/printk.h)
/// [`struct mutex`]: ../../../../include/linux/mutex.h
These are problematic because they are hard to maintain and do not support
`O=` builds.
Instead, provide support for `srctree`-relative links, e.g.:
//! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](srctree/include/linux/printk.h)
/// [`struct mutex`]: srctree/include/linux/mutex.h
The links are fixed after `rustdoc` generation to be based on the absolute
path to the source tree.
Essentially, this is the automatic version of Tomonori's fix [1],
suggested by Gary [2].

Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.
However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.
It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.
