Without this change, we have no idea if the website we see on
https://gnu.org/software/gnuboot/ is using the latest git commit.
It also allows anyone to spot and report to us that the website has
the wrong revision.
With this change we can also potentially spot issues in the website
generation for instance when the website should have been regenerated
and it wasn't, or from an archive or web page file, get to the git
commit it was generated from.

Since the commit 776073e2f8 ("website:
make the website prefix (software/gnuboot) configurable."), site.cfg
is generated. So we also need to add it to .gitignore as well, else it
shows up in git status.

The Libreboot maintainer (Leah Rowe) included nonfree software in
Libreboot releases. This lead to the creation of Genuine Libreboot
project (https://libreboot.at). Since this project reused the
Libreboot website from before the inclusion of nonfree software, it
also depended on Untitled, a website generator written in shell
script.
Since this website generator is not packaged in most distributions,
and that the Genuine Libreboot project wanted automatic builds of the
website, I wrote a set of scripts and Makefile to automatize the
download of Untitiled and the build of the website in November
2022. This corresponds to the commit
db0fb8a251 ("Initial import").
Then I improved these script(s) and Makefile(s) over time and they
were merged in the GNU Boot project.
While what is now in website/ is the result of merging the site/ and
website-build/ directories. To do that site/ was renamed to website/
just before the merge. Only website-build/ had a .gitignore.
This is because the website was only built with the website-build code
in subdirectories of website-build/ and/or in temporary volatile
directories, and so this would not create any built file in the git
repository outside of website-build.

Before being merged with the commit
dc6e1f32c1 ("Import website-build to
build the GNU Boot website."), website-build was a separate git
repository.
And so, even after the merge, until the commit
20d122e94a ("website-build: use website
from local git repository."), it still worked in the same way and
still downloaded the website from git.
This prevented merging the website and website-build directories
together as the GNU Boot repository also needed to be a valid Untitled
website repository as well.
Now after this commit, the website is built from the same git tree, so
we can simply adjust the build scripts to be able to move things
around.
In addition of making things more clear for contributors, it also
simplify the migration to haunt as with haunt we typically have the
haunt.cfg (and the autotools build code if needed) code in the top
directory and the markdown files in a subdirectory.
