docs: cpu-freq: convert cpufreq-stats.txt to ReST
- Add a SPDX header; - Add a document title, based on the original contents of cpu-freq/index.txt; - Use lists where needed; - Comment out the existing text-only index; - Adjust some title marks; - Use bold on some places; - Mark literal blocks as such; - Some whitespace fixes and new line breaks; - Add it to cpu-freq/index.rst.

===============

cpufreq-stats is a driver that provides CPU frequency statistics for each CPU.
