Deploy the website on https://gnu.org/software/gnuboot/.
Since we now have a very visible banner that indicates which pages have been not been reviewed, and contribution instructions on how to fix that, we are ready to publish the website. Right now the deploy path of the website isn't configurable as this would require some form of templating or processing of the markdown files, so the website was simply moved from gnu.org/software/gnuboot/test to gnu.org/software/gnuboot. Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org> Acked-by: Adrien 'neox' Bourmault <neox@gnu.org>
