cover Docs: Update information at changes.rst
Add and update information at 'Documentation/process/changes.rst'. The text has outdated kernel version and misses the 'cpio' build requirement, necessary for the kernel/gen_kheaders.sh script called by the install target.
The PATCH 1/2 fixes the missing cpio requirement, while PATCH 2/2 fixes the kernel version.

PATCH 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.

PATCH 2/2 Docs: Update kernel series in changes.rst
In reply to Bruno Moreira-GuedesThe file 'Documentation/process/changes.rst' states the listed requirements are for the 4.x kernel version. However, there are requirements updated for the 5.x version, so this patch updates it to match the current kernel version.

Indeed it makes much more sense, I'm making a v2 soon!
