Add basic skb documentation. It's mostly an intro to the subsequent
patches - it would looks strange if we documented advanced topics
without covering the basics in any way.

+struct sk_buff
+==============
+
+:c:type:`struct sk_buff` is the main networking structure representing
+a packet.
You shouldn't need :c:type: here, our magic stuff should see "struct
sk_buff" and generate the cross reference.  Of course, it will be a
highly local reference in this case...

Thanks,
