Documentation/x86: Add AMD Hardware Feedback Interface documentation

Introduce a new documentation file, `amd_hfi.rst`, which delves into the
implementation details of the AMD Hardware Feedback Interface and its
associated driver, `amd_hfi`. This documentation describes how the driver
provides hint to the OS scheduling which depends on the capability of core
performance and efficiency ranking data.

This documentation describes:

  * The design of the driver
  * How the driver provides hints to the OS scheduling
  * How the driver interfaces with the kernel for efficiency ranking data.
