Subject: [PATCH] docs: Bump version to 5.x

This shows up in the index of https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ so
I figured it should be updated.

Fixes: bfeffd15528 ("Linux 5.0-rc1")

We could also remove the version number instead of applying this patch.

You missed all the 4.x references in "Installing the kernel source" :)

I also don't think the README matches the contemporary understanding of
"release notes" so perhaps that phrase should be dropped too.
