docs: networking: convert multiqueue.txt to ReST
- add SPDX header; - adjust titles and chapters, adding proper markups; - mark code blocks and literals as such; - use :field: markup; - adjust identation, whitespaces and blank lines; - add to networking/index.rst.

Base drivers are required to use the new alloc_etherdev_mq() or

alloc_netdev_mq() functions to allocate the subqueues for the device. The

The userspace command 'tc,' part of the iproute2 package, is used to configure

qdiscs. To add the MULTIQ qdisc to your network device, assuming the device

is called eth0, run the following command:

|

The qdisc will allocate the number of bands to equal the number of queues that

the device reports, and bring the qdisc online. Assuming eth0 has 4 Tx

queues, the band mapping would look like:

The behavior of tc filters remains the same. However a new tc action,
