Improve Protocol documentation in general. The idea here is to centralize all documentation in uefi-raw and then forward to it from UEFI. The idea is that uefi-raw contains no less technical information than uefi

Partially covers #1639

Checklist

  • Sensible git history (for example, squash "typo" or "fix" commits). See the Rewriting History guide for help.

We don't deduplicate everything and keep a few important things
in uefi as well. See #1641 (comment) for a discussion.

Now each struct's documentation begins with "$ProtocolName [`Protocol`]". This
way, readers quickly can figure out what Protocols are in general.

I rebased everything and I think it is ready now. IMHO, this improves the "What is a protocol?" question for newbies in uefi a lot @nicholasbishop
