Convert plain text documentation to reStructuredText format and add
it to Sphinx TOC tree. No essential content change.

This also merges README.N1213 contents into the new nds32.rst file.

-AndeStar ISA
-============
-AndeStar is a patent-pending 16-bit/32-bit mixed-length instruction set to
-achieve optimal system performance, code density, and power efficiency.
-
-It contains the following features:
- - Intermixable 32-bit and 16-bit instruction sets without the need for
-   mode switch.
- - 16-bit instructions as a frequently used subset of 32-bit instructions.
- - RISC-style register-based instruction set.
- - 32 32-bit General Purpose Registers (GPR).
- - Upto 1024 User Special Registers (USR) for existing and extension
-   instructions.
- - Rich load/store instructions for...
-   - Single memory access with base address update.
-   - Multiple aligned and unaligned memory accesses for memory copy and stack
-     operations.
-   - Data prefetch to improve data cache performance.
-   - Non-bus locking synchronization instructions.
- - PC relative jump and PC read instructions for efficient position independent
-   code.
- - Multiply-add and multiple-sub with 64-bit accumulator.
- - Instruction for efficient power management.
- - Bi-endian support.
- - Three instruction extension space for application acceleration:
-   - Performance extension.
-   - Andes future extensions (for floating-point, multimedia, etc.)
-   - Customer extensions.
-
-AndesCore CPU
-=============
-Andes Technology has 4 families of CPU cores: N12, N10, N9, N8.
-
-For details about N12 CPU family, please check doc/README.N1213.
-
-The NDS32 ports of u-boot, the Linux kernel, the GNU toolchain and
-other associated software are actively supported by Andes Technology Corporation.
