Freya Gustavsson bc62cb3709 doc: Restructure prep for Antora support
Antora uses a dedicated folder structure which we need to adhere to for
it to work as it should. Makefiles has moved to `doc/` root to simplify
the approach needed with Antora and AsciiDoctor.

Existing bundling of documentation with help of AsciiDoctor works as
normal and does not interfere with the directory change.

= NetworkManager
If available on the system, Cockpit uses
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager[NetworkManager] and the
DBus APIs it provides to interact with the system's network
configuration.
For non root users, NetworkManager controls access to its APIs via
link:#privileges[Policy Kit] and a user logged into Cockpit will have
the same permissions as they do from the command line.
To perform similar tasks from the command line, use the
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Networking/CLI[nmcli] command:
....
$ nmcli general status
STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN
connected full enabled enabled enabled enabled
....
Devices marked as "not managed" with the `+NM_CONTROLLED=no+` setting
will not be displayed in the interface.
