Documentation: move mandatory locking documentation to filesystems/

Shouldn't this mandatory-locking documentation be in the
Documentation/filesystems directory?

Give it a more descriptive name while we're at it, and update 00-INDEX
with a more inclusive description of Documentation/filesystems (which
has already talked about more than just individual filesystems).

 1.3 Mandatory Locking As A Mount Option
 ---------------------------------------
 
-Mandatory locking, as described in 'Documentation/mandatory.txt' was prior
-to this release a general configuration option that was valid for all
-mounted filesystems. This had a number of inherent dangers, not the least
-of which was the ability to freeze an NFS server by asking it to read a
-file for which a mandatory lock existed.

 From this release of the kernel, mandatory locking can be turned on and off
 on a per-filesystem basis, using the mount options 'mand' and 'nomand'.
