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.

== Name
cockpit - Cockpit
== Description
Cockpit is a web accessible interactive admin interface for Linux
machines. Cockpit can usually be accessed on port `9090` of the
machine it's installed on. Cockpit starts on demand. Use your system
credentials to log in.
== Components
The *cockpit-ws* web service listens on port `9090` and is started
on demand by *systemd*. The Cockpit web service authenticates the
user, loads Cockpit into the browser, and starts *cockpit-bridge* in a
Linux user session.
The *cockpit-bridge* provides Cockpit in the web browser with access
to the system APIs. It does this over its standard in and standard out.
The bridge is started like a shell once per Linux user session.
