Documentation: ext4: Move inode table short docs into its own file

The short description of inode table is in bitmaps.rst alongside the
proper bitmpas documentation. The docs file is short enough that it fits
whole browser screen on desktop, which implies that when readers click
"Inode Table", they will essentially see bitmaps docs.

Move inode table short description.

-----------
Inode tables are statically allocated at mkfs time. Each block group
descriptor points to the start of the table, and the superblock records
the number of inodes per group. See the section on inodes for more
information.
