doc: development-process: convert it to ReST markup
This document is on good shape for ReST: all it was needed was to fix the section markups, add a toctree, convert the tables and add a few code/quote blocks. While not strictly required, I opted to use lowercase for the titles, just like the other books that were converted to Sphinx. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
