linux: new workflow for kernel changes ( #444973 )

linux: new workflow for kernel changes
...
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/437208#issuecomment-3288623669
Depends on https://github.com/NixOS/org/pull/172
As documented below, the idea is to essentially group all changes
rebuilding all VM tests with kernel updates and merge them together into
`master` whenever the Linux kernels get updated.
This documents the workflow of updates in the nixpkgs manual. While at
it, I removed the README from the packages because
* it's horribly outdated
* I didn't even know it exists which confirms that its discoverability
was very poor
and added the relevant portions into the nixpkgs manual as well.

CONTRIBUTING: clarify pushing to others' PRs is allowed
...
While squash-merges have been discouraged from already, they become
impossible to do when the Merge Queue is enabled. In certain scenarios
it was tolerated to use these, however, thus we introduce an acceptable
replacement instead.
By making explicit that pushing to contributors PRs is allowed by
default, it should be easier for committers to do so.

This serves as an overview of the process as we currently live it and as a guide
for getting it done quickly and efficiently for people who haven't been
contributing to Nixpkgs for many years.
The intention is to document how the process currently works, set expectations
right, provide recommendations on getting through the process and motivate
people to help us committers help them better. Win-win for everyone.

We sometimes have reviews that are blocked because of miscommunication between author

"authoritative" text to unblock their own situations.
