Sebastian Wick edfd1880c9 docs: Move the gitlab wiki and other docs to the docs/ directory
Let's try to consolidate our documentation in doc/ in the repo. This
includes some documentation from README.md, the HACKING.md coding style
and the gitlab wiki.

The README.md file now links to all top-level topics (i.e. not reachable
via other topics).

This also includes a few small changes to make things more consistent.

Mutter

Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.

When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.

When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.

It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.

Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.

Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
