docs: create config/, devel/ and spin/ subdirectories

Developer documentation should be its own manual.  As a start, move all
developer-oriented files to a separate directory.

Also move non-text files to their own directories: docs/config/ for
QEMU -readconfig input, and docs/spin/ for formal models to be used
with the SPIN model checker.
