Add guidance for AI assistants and developers using AI tools for kernel
contributions, per the consensus reached at the 2025 Maintainers Summit.

Create Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst with detailed guidance
on licensing, Signed-off-by requirements, and attribution format. The
README points AI tools to this documentation.

This will allow coding assistants to easily parse these instructions and
comply with guidelines set by the community.
