When working on multiple websites the same time, having every website
using the port 8080 by default isn't very convenient.
In addition here we need a number that is somewhat easy to remember
and possibly meaningful for each website, so in general that not easy
to choose.
But in the case of GNU Boot we can find a scheme because:
- GNU Boot supports only x86 machines for now,
- the GM45 ThinkPads are probably the most well supported by GNU
Boot and also well known machines,
- that the GM45 ThinkPads use Intel CPUs,
- that 8086 is frequently used as vendor ID for Intel,
so here we can simply use 8086 as it's meaningful and at least very
easy to remember at least for people working in that field.
In addition for people not familiar with writing drivers for x86
computers, it could also reminds of a CPU also from Intel.

Since the website and the images were merged in GNU boot respectively
in site/ and www/, we can now modify GNU boot to only be cloned once
to build the website.
The image path was also modified to make images work both in the local
served website and at gnu.org and also to minimize the differences
between the test and deployment setups.
Libreboot.at also hosted a copy of Untitled to make it simple to
control the revision being used.
But in the longer term, it would be a bad idea to do that again for
GNU boot since there are plans to convert the website and/or
documentation to the texinfo format, and so at some point Untitled
will stop being used, and we don't want to end up with a git
repository that needs to be kept for historic reasons but that is
unused.
Since the website isn't ready we also have a redirection to Savannah
to make sure that visitors are redirected to something meaningful.

Neox: Suggested the split in smaller commits and various ways to do
that (including some that were used).

Having that code inside the same repository than GNU Boot makes it
easier to keep Untitled versions (and possibly additional patches on
top) in sync with the documentation/website being worked on.
This is relevant as there are plans within GNU Boot to convert the
website to Texinfo but that would require to patch untitled (to add
support for Texinfo pages in untitled) to do a progressive transition
to Texinfo.
Using an external repository to temporarily maintain a patched version
of Untitled is not optimal as we would end up having to warn users not
to use that repository anymore at some point.
Bringing in the whole untitled source code and documentation in this
GNU Boot repository is also not a good option since we only need
minimal patching on top of untitled, so in the long run not doing that
would help keep the GNU Boot repository smaller and more simple.
In addition we currently do need to wrap the build with a fixed Guix
revision as for instance with a more recent Guix revision than the one
used by website-built, for instance at the commit ("gnu: nyxt: Update
to 3.9.0."), if we run ./build.sh directly without using a fixed Guix
revision, the build is broken:
