[PATCH v2] docs/misra: add exceptions to rules

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxx>

During the discussions that led to the acceptable of the Rules, we
decided on a few exceptions that were not properly recorded in
rules.rst. Other times, the exceptions were decided later when it came
to enabling a rule in ECLAIR.

Either way, update rules.rst with appropriate notes.
