Add a minimal GNU Boot manual. Currently GNU Boot has no manual, and it needs one to organize better the information it provides to users and/or contributors. Since we need to start somewhere, beside adding the manual license, we describe a bit what the GNU Boot project is, and also ask for help for completing the manual. The GFDL 1.3 comes from the gnulib source code at the commit d64d66cc4897d605f543257dcd038524a0a55215 ("autoupdate"). The beginning and the end of the document are also very similar to the GNU Hello manual from the commit 24225d705684322f482135e8a2d679485fce0811 ("maint: remove the obsolete gettext module") as they were copied and modified from that. The 'dircategory Kernel' was chosen to be the same than GRUB, so they both appear in the same group in the Emacs info reader ('info' command in Emacs). As for the "Overview" of GNU Boot it also contains background information that will be needed later on and that needs to be introduced right from the start: - If people reading the manual do not understand what a boot software is, all the rest will be too complicated to explain. - We also need to explain where GNU Boot is physically located on the computer from the start as we plan not to use the 'ROM' terminology as it's confusing: ROM means read-only-memory, and so there is no point of providing GNU Boot ROM images if the nonfree boot software can't be replaced.
