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.

  • Commented out lines in buildrom-withgrub that included backgrounds/fonts (not useful anymore, now that GRUB is in text-mode).
  • Added resources/utilities/i945-pwm/ (from git://git.mtjm.eu/i945-pwm), for debugging acpi brightness on i945 systems.

  • 'build' script: removed the parts that generated sha512sum manifests (not needed, since release tarballs are GPG-signed)

  • Documentation: removed all parts talking about build dependencies, replaced them with links to #build_dependencies
  • Documentation: emphasized more strongly on the documentation, the need to re-build bucts and/or flashrom before flashing a ROM image.
  • build-release: flashrom, nvramtool, cbfstool and bucts are no longer provided pre-compiled in binary archives, and are now in source form only. (to maximize distro compatibility).
  • 'build' script: replaced grub.elf assembly instructons, it is now handled by a utility added under resources/utilities/grub-assemble

  • Split up default grub.cfg into 6 parts: extra/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg} and menuentries/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg}
    • buildrom-withgrub script uses these to generate the correct grub.cfg for each type of configuration.
  • grub_memdisk.cfg (used inside grub.elf) now only loads grub.cfg from cbfs. It no longer enables serial output or sets prefix. (menuentries/common.cfg does instead)
  • resources/grub/config/extra/common.cfg, added:
    • insmod instructions to load those modules: nativedisk, ehci, ohci, uhci, usb, usbserial_pl2303, usbserial_ftdi, usbserial_usbdebug
    • set prefix=(memdisk)/boot/grub
    • For native graphics (recommended by coreboot wiki):
      gfxpayload=keep
      terminal_output --append gfxterm

      play 480 440 1
