docs/generic-device-packages: new page 
Start the documentation for generic device packages and document how to
handle device-specific services. This is a question that came up in the
review of PMCR-0009 (new main device category).

Generic Device Packages

This article is about device packages starting with device-generic-. These can boot on multiple devices of that architecture. device-generic-x86_64 could for example be booted on most PCs and laptops with that architecture.

Device-specific services

Pre-installing device specific software is allowed if it is needed to enable device functionality, but it must only start on relevant devices and not break other devices.

One example is the hexagonrpcd daemon for serving HexagonFS files to the DSPs on Qualcomm devices, which we only run if e.g. /dev/fastrpc-adsp is available.
