Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] Docs: Add cpio requirement to changes.rst

The install target requires cpio to run the `kernel/gen_kheaders.sh`
script, but it's missing in the requirements list at
'Documentation/process/changes.rst'. This patch adds it to the list.

You mentioned that **any** version of cpio will work, right?
Or is there a specific minimum version?

The statement of "any" seems fairly explicit to me. It has been a few
... decades ... since cpio has seen any sort of rapid development; do
you have any reason to think there might be a version in the wild that
would not work?
