Dirk Behme dc60dd0c68 rust: error: extend the Result documentation
Extend the Result documentation by some guidelines and examples how
to handle Result error cases gracefully. And how to not handle them.

While at it fix one missing `Result` link in the existing documentation.

[ Moved links out-of-line for improved readability. Fixed `srctree`
  link. Sorted out-of-line links. Added newlines for consistency
  with other docs. Applied paragraph break suggestion. Reworded
  slightly the docs in a couple places. Added Markdown.

  In addition, added `#[allow(clippy::single_match)` for the first
  example. It cannot be an `expect` since due to a difference introduced
  in Rust 1.85.0 when there are comments in the arms of the `match`.
  Reported it upstream, but it was intended:

      https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/14418

  Perhaps Clippy will lint about it in the future, but without autofix:

      https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/14420

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
