Assorted changes for the recently added document. Improvements: * Add instructions for installing required software on Arch Linux. Fixes: * Move a 'git remote add -t master stable [...]' from a totally wrong to the right place. * Fix two anchors. * Add two required packages to the openSUSE install instructions. Fine tuning: * Improve the reference section about downloading Linux mainline sources to make it more obvious that those are alternatives. * Include the full instructions for git bundles to ensure the remote gets the right name; that way the text also works stand alone. * Install ncurses and qt headers for use of menuconfig and xconfig by default, but tell users that they are free to omit them. * Mention ahead of time which version number are meant as example in commands used during the step-by-step guide. * Mention that 'kernel-install remove' might do a incomplete job.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
