docs/bpf: Update bpf development Q/A file 

bpf now has its own mailing list bpf@vger.kernel.org.
Update the bpf_devel_QA.rst file to reflect this.

Also llvm has switch to github with llvm and clang
in the same repo https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git.
Update the QA file with newer build instructions.

Q: How do I report bugs for BPF kernel code?
--------------------------------------------
A: Since all BPF kernel development as well as bpftool and iproute2 BPF
loader development happens through the netdev kernel mailing list,
loader development happens through the bpf kernel mailing list,
please report any found issues around BPF to the following mailing
list:
netdev@vger.kernel.org

This may also include issues related to XDP, BPF tracing, etc.

Historically, BPF came out of networking and has always been maintained
by the kernel networking community. Although these days BPF touches
many other subsystems as well, the patches are still routed mainly
through the networking community.

In case your patch has changes in various different subsystems (e.g.
tracing, security, etc), make sure to Cc the related kernel mailing
networking, tracing, security, etc), make sure to Cc the related kernel mailing
lists and maintainers from there as well, so they are able to review
the changes and provide their Acked-by's to the patches.

Be aware that this is not a final verdict that the patch will
automatically get accepted into net or net-next trees eventually:

On the bpf kernel mailing list reviews can come in at any point

get included as-is, we will either apply a follow-up fix or drop
them from the trees entirely. Therefore, we also reserve to rebase

that set up, proceed with building the latest LLVM and clang version
from the git repositories::
$ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
$ cd llvm/tools
$ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
$ cd ..; mkdir build; cd build
$ cmake .. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF;X86" \
$ git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git

$ make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)

The built binaries can then be found in the build/bin/ directory, where
you can point the PATH variable to.
