Masahiro Yamada 062a1481cf kbuild: doc: update the description about Kbuild/Makefile split
The phrase "In newer versions of the kernel" was added 14 years ago, by
commit efdf02cf06 ("Documentation/kbuild: major edit of modules.txt
sections 1-4"). This feature is no longer new, so remove it and update
the paragraph.

Example 3 was written 20 years ago [1]. There is no need to note about
backward compatibility with such an old build system. Remove Example 3
entirely.

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.
