website: main page: clarify that GNU Boot is a distribution.
At the beginning I tried to describe the GNU Boot project in a single
sentence to be as simple as possible for less technical users.

But then I ended up having to explain again and again to people that
GNU Boot is only a distribution.

We probably had this problem for a very long time, as Libreboot also
had the same issue, and since we inherited all its code and that we
continue its original spirit, we also have the same issue.

And I still had to correct people very recently even long after having
changed the Savannah project description page and having restructured
a bit the build system to look more like packages.

So here I see no other option than changing the front page as well, as
getting this point across is important, especially when we are looking
for contributions, as contributing to a distribution is often easier
than contributing to upstream software.

Merge website and 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.
