Several attributes depend on __CHECKER__, but previously there was no
clue in the tree about when __CHECKER__ might be defined. Add hints at
the most common places (__kernel, __user, __iomem, __bitwise) and in the
sparse documentation.

Sparse's home page used to be a wiki (sparse.wiki.kernel.org)
but this wiki only contained a short intro and the release notes.
But nowadays, sparse's main page is sparse.docs.kernel.org,
which contains all what was in the wiki but also other documentation,
mainly oriented about sparse's internals.
So, add a link to this in the kernel documentation.

The URL given to get sparse's tarballs is sparse.wiki.kernel.org
but the wiki will is deprecated in favor of sparse.docs.kernel.org.
So, update this URL to the one where the tarballs can directly
be found.

This fell into disrepair a while ago, and the majority of hits to the
snapshots were from bots, so it's more trouble to keep running than it's worth.

The sparse-based checking for non-RCU accesses to RCU-protected pointers
has been around for a very long time, and it is now the only type of
sparse-based checking that is optional. This commit therefore makes
it unconditional.

Add documentation of -DCONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER.
I started to add documentation of -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ as well, but
discovered I'm too late; that's now enabled by default.

It's no longer used.

We dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ so __bitwise__ is now an implementation
detail. People should use __bitwise everywhere.

Fold the sparse document into the development tools set; no changes to the
text itself beyond formatting.
