site: add GNU Boot status page. Many projects that make hardware work (drivers, etc) have status pages. Here GNU Boot is a distribution and with very few exceptions (like infrared and TPM on I945 Thinkpads) most of the hardware work fine. However we currently need to track what computers were tested, if the installation instruction work, and the upstream status to know if a computer is likely to continue being supported or not if nobody volunteers to help. This is also a practical way to ask volunteers to test with very simple tasks like bug reporting if things work or don't work.

Stability:
----------
* Untested: The GNU Boot maintainers are not aware of anybody who
tested GNU Boot 0.1 RC1 on that computer. If you have GNU Boot on
this computer please report if it works or not (for instance by
opening a bug report).
* Tested: Someone tested GNU Boot 0.1 RC1 on that computer and
reported to the GNU Boot that it at least booted fine.
* Daily users: Some people contacted the GNU Boot maintainers and
volunteered to send bug reports if installing GNU Boot made the
computer unusable or very hard to use (like a memory corruption that
makes it impossible to boot certain GNU/Linux distributions or
crashes the computer randomly). If you want to help GNU Boot
with that, please contact the maintainers through a bug report.
Installation instructions:
--------------------------
* Untested: Nobody tested the GNU Boot installation instructions for
this computer.
* Can be simplified: There is work in progress to simplify the
instructions by having GNU Boot release the tools required to do the
installation and by requiring to keep the computer connected to the
electricity (by keeping its power supply connected) instead of
requiring to disassemble it to check a battery voltage.
* Tested: The installation instructions worked well.

Coreboot status:
----------------
* Maintained / Unmaintained: GNU Boot depends on Coreboot to support
specific computers. So if Coreboot stops supporting a computer that
GNU Boot supports, then it will become harder and harder to support
that computer in GNU Boot over time and at some point GNU Boot will
likely stop supporting it unless someone adds back that computer in
Coreboot. And if a computer has no maintainer in Coreboot it
increases the likelihood that it will be removed at some point.
* Removed: Coreboot already removed the support for this computer.
* Similar to <another computer>: There is no official support for this
computer in Coreboot but using the code from the other computer
mentioned works.
Coreboot GPU driver:
--------------------
* old GPU driver / new GPU driver: Some computers uses an old GPU
driver written in C that could have some stability issues that were
fixed in the new GPU driver written in ADA. When the field is blank,
it means that we didn't look at which GPU driver was used or its
stability.
