Proper testing greatly simplifies both patch development and review,
but it can be unclear what kind of userspace or guest support
should accompany new features. Clarify maintainer expectations
in terms of testing expectations; additionally, list the cases in
which open-source userspace support is pretty much a necessity and
its absence can only be mitigated by selftests.
While these ideas have long been followed implicitly by KVM contributors
and maintainers, formalize them in writing to provide consistent (though
not universal) guidelines.

While the file could stand a larger update, these are the bare minimum changes
needed to make it more widely applicable.

This file is already in ReST compatible format.
So, rename it and add to the kvm's index.rst.
While here, use the standard conversion for document titles.
