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:

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.
