Baruch Siach 1d898b2835 docs: netdev-FAQ: fix question headers formatting
Join adjacent questions to a single question line. This fixes the
formatting of questions that were not part of the heading.

Also, drop Q: and A: prefixes. We don't need them now that questions and
answers are visually separated.

v2: mention the cases unlike iproute2 explicitly

Tobin C. Harding 96398ddf63 docs: net: Convert netdev-FAQ to restructured text
Preferred kernel docs format is now restructured text.  Convert
netdev-FAQ.txt to restructured text.

 - Add SPDX license identifier.

 - Change file heading 'Information you need to know about netdev' to
  'netdev FAQ' to better suit displayed index (in HTML).

 - Change question/answer layout to suit rst.  Copy format in
   Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst

 - Fix indentation of code snippets

 - If multiple consecutive URLs appear put them in a list (to maintain
  whitespace).

 - Use uniform spelling of 'bug fix' throughout document (not bugfix or
   bug-fix).

 - Add double back ticks to 'net' and 'net-next' when referring to the
   trees.

 - Use rst references for Documentation/ links.

 - Add rst label 'netdev-FAQ' for referencing by other docs files.

 - Remove stale entry from Documentation/networking/00-INDEX
