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.

The 'TODO' link was pointing to an old page that is currently not up-to-date
so this commit replaces that link by another, to the Savannah forge main page.

The 'Bugs' link in the template was pointing to the old bug reporting page of
our previous project. This commit makes it pointing to the Savannah bug
reporting system used by GNU Boot.

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.

This uses a black background and white text which is the opposite of
the default theme. By using black and white, this also makes sure that
color blind people can still see the banner.

In Parabola, the libreboot-utils and various u-boot packages needed
Libreboot as it was providing deblobbed source releases of Coreboot
and u-boot.
Because of that and also because I need also deblobbed u-boot for Guix
and Replicant, I ended up being involved in Libreboot.at and then GNU
Boot.
However the Replicant project also needs my help, so when joining
Libreboot.at and then GNU Boot I mostly wanted to have a project I
could rely on and be able to easily send patches to it.
So the idea was that once the project would be in a good shape I would
reconsider if I still needed to be a maintainer and try to see if new
contributors wanted to replace me (to have more than one maintainers)
and then go back sending patches from time to time as a regular
contributor to have more time for other projects.
This is why we used the word "interim" at the beginning: I was not
sure (and still am not sure) to want to stay maintainer of GNU Boot
forever. Adrien however has other plans.

If we are in test/web the links work fine but if we go in
test/web/docs/, the links are relative to the current page and stop
working.

For the GNU Boot website and documentation we reused:
- The Libreboot website as it contains a lot of documentation
(installation instructions, documentation on supported computers,
etc). And we don't want to re-do all that from scratch.
- The libreboot.at website as some of its modifications (like the
ability to include images from the same domain, the fact that it
mention that it's not libreboot.org, etc) are useful to us, and here
too it's a good idea not to have to re-do all that work from
scratch.

We will most likely get a new logo, so it doesn't make sense to
keep this one as it would increase confusion between our genuine
Libreboot, and Leah's Libreboot.

and host it on libreboot.org/ instead of av.libreboot.org/
the PNG "light" libreboot logo is well-optimized, and still opens properly in
most browsers even if named favicon.ico. the icon is going to be loaded on
pages anyway. having a separate favicon.ico adds an extra http request, which
causes seconds of lag on some connections
so make sl.png the favicon, and use that in the img tag on pages
The CSS is light enough now that, in terms of compression, it makes more sense
to merge it in each HTML page. It's small enough to make virtually no
difference, and this cuts down on HTTP requests.
This change will save literally seconds of time, for those who are on high
latency internet services (satellite based internet services, slow tor relays,
etc).
