doc: usage: Add File System section and Ext4 documentation

Create doc/usage/filesystems/ section.
Convert doc/README.ext4 to rST format and move it to the new section.
Update documentation to add configuration instruction for Ext4 Write
when using large partitions.

Note that this patch depends on this previous patch:

+Ext4 File System

 U-Boot supports access of both ext2 and ext4 filesystems, either in read-only
 mode or in read-write mode.

 but without selecting the corresponding commands, enable one of the following:
