The rule being added to the refactoring section is already present
in the "coding style" section of the guide, but is currently easy
to miss. Adding it to its own section makes it a little more plain
and makes it more strongly worded.
Update a couple of other areas:
- Make kernel specific phrasing better aligned with coreboot.
- Remove duplicate "try to match" phrase in coding style section.
- Remove section on Data structures - it doesn't apply to coreboot.
- Update text to make it clearer and more coreboot-centric.

This patch adds a new section to the coding style which codifies
existing practices about how to handle errors and how to use the die()
and assert() macros. Also clean up some references to Linux-specific
facilities that do not exist in coreboot in the adjacent function return
type guidelines, and add a small blurb of documentation to the
definition of the assert() macro itself.

This change mostly changes links that were identified as broken by
the 'website_scans' jenkins job.
There were some links that seem to be up at times, but that are
identified by link-checker as broken because of SSL issues.
At least one other link was changed to point to archive.org so
that it doesn't break at some point in the future. We should
probably try to make sure that everything is archived there and
point to those versions when possible.
There are still lots more links to do.

This patch adds a bit of a "preamble" to the coding style to provide
guideance on how it should be applied and how style questions that
aren't mentioned should be handled.

This patch is trying to address some of the concerns raised in CB:50247
after the patch had landed. The preference for alphabetized headers was
just supposed to discourage leaving headers completely unordered, and
wasn't intended to disallow other intentional include orderings such as
grouping local includes after system ones or specific ordering
constraints that exist for technical reasons. This patch adds a few more
sentences to try to clarify that.
