bpf, docs: Move sentence about returning R0 to abi.rst
As discussed at LSF/MM/BPF, the sentence about using R0 for returning values from calls is part of the calling convention and belongs in abi.rst. Any further additions or clarifications to this text are left for future patches on abi.rst. The current patch is simply to unblock progression of instruction-set.rst to a standard. In contrast, the restriction of register numbers to the range 0-10 is untouched, left in the instruction-set.rst definition of the src_reg and dst_reg fields.
