docs: Import the website and wiki and build with hotdoc

This allows us to more easily have the documentation in sync with
the source code as people will have to document new features etc
right at the time where they implement it.

+# Getting meson
+
+## Downloading Meson
+
+Meson releases can be downloaded from the [Github release page].
+
+Meson is also available in the [Python Package Index] and can be
+installed with <tt>pip3 install meson</tt>.
+
+The newest development code can be obtained directly from [Git]
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Meson is implemented in Python 3. If your operating system provides a
+package manager, use should install it with that. For platforms that
+don't have a package manager, you need to download it from [Python's
+home page].
+
+Depending on your platform and backend you wish to use, you might need
+the [Ninja executable]. Again, use your distro-provided version if
+possible. Otherwise download it from Ninja project's web site.
