Guix now supports debootstraping both PureOS and Trisquel. In Guix,
the keyring packages are runtime dependencies of debootstrap, and
debootstrap refers to them by their full path in /gnu/store.

We need to install the keyring packages to make sure that the
signatures are checked. So a table was created for that and also to
enable to add more distributions in it (like Guix) later on.

The file adding the news is named gnuboot-december-2023.md instead of
gnuboot-0.1-rc1.md as the later is understood as a translation in the
'1-rc1' lang. Renaming the file to gnuboot-0.1-rc1.en.md instead makes
untitled detect the lang correctly but then it assumes this is a
translation and adds a broken link for "English" on the new page.
For now the older Libreboot news were kept as this shows the history
of the project and since GNU Boot is a continuation of the Libreboot
project it makes sense to also keep them.
The CSS also needed to be separated from the template because
otherwise the generated news page would be incomplete and miss all
what comes before the CSS like '<!DOCTYPE html>' for instance.
Finally x-reviewed was changed into x-unreviewed because we can't set
x-reviewed for the news, so the only way to remove the banner for the
individual news is to default to reviewed (and to mark all unreviewed
files as such).
As for the Untitled patch it is needed to make the news page work.

Documenting where to find binaries built with 'make release' helps
users trying to build GNU Boot for the first time, especially if
something goes wrong.
It is also extremely useful for contributors writing release scripts
as this avoid needing to build a complete release just to find out the
name and location of released files.

This page is supposed to describe the Libreboot build system, but it
seems to only be there as a placeholder waiting for contributions that
add the actual information.
The problem here is that we don't want to describe the build system in
details in the manual for now as it is being reworked and it is
subject to change.
So for now we prefer to cleanup the code instead, and commenting it
along the way if possible, and if some explanations need to be added
in the manual it will most likely cover the global architecture which
isn't defined yet.

We can't require contributors to install Debian as it has freedom
issues[1] but for contributors, installing PureOS is easier since
it's at least FSDG compliant[2]. So it makes sense to show that
PureOS is the primary target here.
This is also reflected in the reality as the current GNU Boot
maintainers already installed PureOS 10 inside virtual machines
and/or containers to test this script and build the GNU Boot 0.1
RC1 release.

The reference to lbmk was removed because there is no lbmk script in
GNU Boot.
The python section was removed as this is already taken care of by the
combination of the dependencies installation scripts and the
recommendation of specific distributions to build GNU Boot. Untested
distributions were also removed.
As for the removal of x-toc-enable, we had issues when having both
x-toc-enable and x-reviewed on the same page in the past. This is
documented in the commit adc578ae49
("site: license.md: fix x-reviewed"). So to make sure to avoid similar
issue we preemptively remove x-toc-enable.

The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.
Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.
So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.
The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.

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.

The website will be published to https://gnu.org/software/gnuboot. But
for now it is not ready yet to be published as-is because there are no
contribution instructions yet and we also need to agree on what to put
on the main page.
So until that's fixed, it will be published to
https://gnu.org/software/gnuboot/test.

We don't plan to use an external website just for the images, so
we need a local path for the images.
Since the images are in www/ in the images repositories, it's easier
to expect the images in img/www to enable easy deployment by users.
The path of the images aren't relative to the page. So we need to use
a kind of absolute path for it to work.
We have the choice of not using any domain (/img/www/) or using a
specific domain (DOMAIN/img/www/). We use the former as the later
doesn't work offline and cannot use the local images.
However the downside is that we need a local web server for it to work
as simply opening the html files in a browser won't work unless the
user puts the images inside /img/www inside the root filesystem.

$ sed 's#av\.libreboot\.srht\.site#libreboot.srht.site/img#g' \

If the website is moved again in the future we will need to change the
URL again in the same way.
