ALSA: doc: ReSTize Procfile document

A simple conversion from a text file.

A new subidrectory, Documentation/sound/designs, was created to put
this document.  The other API design and implementation docuemnts
will be put to that directory in later commits.

 General
--------

 ALSA has its own proc tree, /proc/asound.  Many useful information are
 found in this tree.  When you encounter a problem and need debugging,
 check the files listed in the following sections.
 
 Each card has its subtree cardX, where X is from 0 to 7. The
-card-specific files are stored in the card* subdirectories.
