doc: Add CPU Isolation documentation

nohz_full was introduced in v3.10 in 2013, which means this
documentation is overdue for 13 years.

Fortunately Paul wrote a part of the needed documentation a while ago,
especially concerning nohz_full in Documentation/timers/no_hz.rst and
also about per-CPU kthreads in
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-per-CPU-kthreads.rst

Introduce a new page that gives an overview of CPU isolation in general.
