IRQ-affinity.txt: standardize document format 

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- Add a title for the document;
- mark literal blocks as such;
- use a bulleted list for changelog.
