User's Guide mentions OS-specific installation

Specifically the Linux issue of needing "udev" rules, and MS-Windows
needing driver configuration.

Also, update the existing udev note to use the correct name of that
rules file in the source tree.

On Linux, you may have permissions problems to address. The best way
to do this is to use the contrib/openocd.udev rules file. It probably
belongs somewhere in /etc/udev/rules.d, but consult your operating
system documentation to be sure. In particular, make sure that it
matches the syntax used by your operating system's version of udev.

Properly installing OpenOCD sets up your operating system to grant it access
to the JTAG adapters. On Linux, this usually involves installing a file
in @file{/etc/udev/rules.d,} so OpenOCD has permissions. MS-Windows needs
complex and confusing driver configuration for every peripheral. Such issues
are unique to each operating system, and are not detailed in this User's Guide.
Then later you will invoke the OpenOCD server, with various options to
tell it how each debug session should work.

Correctly installing OpenOCD includes making your operating system give
OpenOCD access to JTAG adapters. Once that has been done, Tcl commands
are used to select which one is used, and to configure how it is used.
JTAG Adapters/Interfaces/Dongles are normally configured
through commands in an interface configuration
file which is sourced by your @file{openocd.cfg} file, or
