[PATCH net-next] docs: netdev: document AI-assisted review tooling

[Nicolai Buchwitz <nb@tipi-net.de>]

Add a section about Sashiko, the Linux Foundation's open-source
AI review system for kernel patches. Contributors can check review
feedback on the Sashiko website and address findings proactively,
reducing the need for maintainers to relay the same questions.

Also point to the local review tooling at netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev
for contributors who want to run AI reviews before submitting.

Sashiko [1] reviews are already being used on the list (e.g. [2])
but there's no mention of them in the netdev docs. Add a section
so contributors know they can check and respond to AI review
feedback directly.

Based on Jakub's reviewer guidance patch [3].

+AI-assisted review
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Patches posted to netdev are automatically reviewed by the Sashiko
+AI review system (https://sashiko.dev/). Results are posted publicly
+on the website. Check for findings on your submissions and address
+valid ones before a maintainer has to relay the same questions.
+
+You can also run AI reviews locally before submitting. Instructions
+and tooling are available at:
+
+  https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/ai-local.html
