Device tree overlays are a convenient way to patch device trees, e.g.,
add new devices to a device tree or enable/disable devices. This is
useful for non-discoverable but configurable hardware. Device tree
overlays are commonly used for displays on the Raspberry Pi or for
describing the content of FPGA bitstreams.
Add the devicetree-overlay key to boot loader specification entries to
allow boot loaders to apply overlays.

It turns out Jekyll (the engine behind GitHub Pages) requires that pages
include a "Front Matter" snippet of YAML at the top for proper rendering.
Omitting it will still render the pages, but including it opens up new
possibilities, such as using a {% for %} loop to generate index.md instead of
requiring a separate script.
I'm hoping this will also fix the issue with some of the pages (notably
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.html) not being available under systemd.io
Tested locally by rendering the website with Jekyll. Before this change, the
*.md files were kept unchanged (so not sure how that even works?!), after this
commit, proper *.html files were generated from it.
A couple of changes:
1. Clearly name the drop-in entry files "Type #1", and the unified
kernel images "Type #2", and be clearer that the latter is specific
to UEFI.
2. Suffix all directory paths with a trailing "/" to clarify that these
are directories. Also, enclose them all in ``.
3. Add introductory paragraph that explains that there is Type #1 and
Type #2 and what they are about.
4. Explain that Type #2 is about signed UEFI SecureBoot.
5. Don't claim that $BOOT/loader/ contains really all files defined by
the spec, because that's not true, Type #2 images are not located there
after all.
Fixes: #10399
The docs/ directory is special in GitHub, since it can be used to serve GitHub
Pages from, so there's a benefit to switching to it in order to expose it
directly as a website.
Updated references to it from the documentations themselves, from the
CONTRIBUTING.md file and from Meson build files.
