Subject: [PATCH] docs: remove tree links from the main index

and leave only their neighbor subsystem-apis

because these links are already listed under
section "Core subsystems" of Documentation/subsystem-apis.rst:

    Core subsystems
    ---------------

    .. toctree::
       :maxdepth: 1

       core-api/index
       driver-api/index
       mm/index
       power/index
       scheduler/index
       timers/index
       locking/index

Reference:
- https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/subsystem-apis.html#core-subsystems

Motivation:
- make the documentation more organized
- increase consistency, observability and maintainability
- improve balance of ToC tree by reducing overly populated lists
- avoid duplicate parallel links
- escape tangling of links
- intention to fit the main index into one page
