split-ring: generalize text
Update generic text to talk about available/used buffers, not rings. Move some split-ring specific text to the correct section. Update conformance section with link to the new conformance clause.

-A driver MUST NOT decrement the available \field{idx} on a live virtqueue (ie.

+A driver MUST NOT alter virtqueue entries for exposed buffers -

+of a live virtqueue.
Thus a driver MUST ensure a virtqueue isn't live (by device reset) before removing exposed buffers.
