edac: move documentation ABI to ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-edac

The EDAC MC API is currently stored at the wrong place. Move the
parts of the EDAC MC ABI that will be kept to
ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-edac.

The Date: field were added based on git timestamps for the git
commit patches that added the functionality at edac.txt.

+What:		/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/reset_counters
+Date:		January 2006
+Contact:	linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
+Description:	This write-only control file will zero all the statistical
+		counters for UE and CE errors on the given memory controller.
+		Zeroing the counters will also reset the timer indicating how
+		long since the last counter were reset. This is useful for
+		computing errors/time.  Since the counters are always reset
