rpmsg.txt: standardize document format

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- mark document and chapter titles;
- mark notes;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust identation.

 		void *priv, u32 addr);
-   - every rpmsg address in the system is bound to an rx callback (so when
-     inbound messages arrive, they are dispatched by the rpmsg bus using the
-     appropriate callback handler) by means of an rpmsg_endpoint struct.
-
-     This function allows drivers to create such an endpoint, and by that,
-     bind a callback, and possibly some private data too, to an rpmsg address
-     (either one that is known in advance, or one that will be dynamically
-     assigned for them).
-
-     Simple rpmsg drivers need not call rpmsg_create_ept, because an endpoint
-     is already created for them when they are probed by the rpmsg bus
-     (using the rx callback they provide when they registered to the rpmsg bus).
-
-     So things should just work for simple drivers: they already have an
-     endpoint, their rx callback is bound to their rpmsg address, and when
-     relevant inbound messages arrive (i.e. messages which their dst address
-     equals to the src address of their rpmsg channel), the driver's handler
-     is invoked to process it.
-
-     That said, more complicated drivers might do need to allocate
-     additional rpmsg addresses, and bind them to different rx callbacks.
-     To accomplish that, those drivers need to call this function.
-     Drivers should provide their channel (so the new endpoint would bind
-     to the same remote processor their channel belongs to), an rx callback
-     function, an optional private data (which is provided back when the
-     rx callback is invoked), and an address they want to bind with the
-     callback. If addr is RPMSG_ADDR_ANY, then rpmsg_create_ept will
-     dynamically assign them an available rpmsg address (drivers should have
-     a very good reason why not to always use RPMSG_ADDR_ANY here).
-
-     Returns a pointer to the endpoint on success, or NULL on error.
