In order to have a link to the release notes in the feature list
generated from SUPPORT.md add that link in the "Release Support"
section of that file.
The real link needs to be adapted when the version is being released.

This turns all the things which were treated as caveats, but which
don't need to be footnoted in the matrix, into descriptions.
For the benefit of the support matrix generator, this patch (or a
version of it) should be backported to 4.10.

This commits (more or less) this file to be processed with pandoc,
rather than other markdown processors. There is, unfortunately, no
widely-accepted way to declare a title for the document.
I tested feeding the document to markdown(1) on Debian jessie and it
reproduced the % line as if it were simple text. I guess many other
markdown processors will do something similarly tolerable. My
internet searches did not discover a markdown processor that used
lines starting with % for something else.

Continuations of bullet list items must be indented by exactly 4
spaces (according to pandoc_markdown(5) on Debian jessie).
This is most easily achieved by making the bullet list items have two
spaces before the `*'.

Also fix x86/HVM to spell out that only DomU HVM mode is supported and
remove the 'guest' from the ARM section, ARM supports both Dom0/DomU
using the same mode.

The code has been there in the hypervisor for several releases, but
there is no toolstack support.
While we're here delete some trailing whitespace.

All this information is now covered in SUPPORT.md.
Most of the emulated hardware is obvious a couple of the items are
worth pointing out specifically.
"xen_disk" is listed under "Blkback"
"...the PCI host bridge and the PIIX3 chipset...": This statement is
redundant -- the PCI host bridge is a part of the piix3 chipset, which
is listed as supported.
xenfb: The "graphics" side of "xenfb" is listed under "PV Framebuffer
(backend)", and the "input" side of "xenfb" (including both keyboard
and mouse) is listed under "PV Keyboard (backend)".
Backing storage image format is listed in the "Blkback" section.
Fix 'stdvga' spelling while we're here.

QEMU supports various image formats, but we only provide security
support for raw, qcow, qcow2, and vhd formats.
Rather than duplicate this information under the "x86/Emulated
storage" section, just refer to the "Blkback" section.

With the exception of driver domains, which depend on PCI passthrough,
and will be introduced later.

For now only include xl-specific features, or interaction with the
system. Feature support matrix will be added when features are
mentioned.

Add a machine-readable file to describe what features are in what
state of being 'supported', as well as information about how long this
release will be supported, and so on.
The document should be formatted using "semantic newlines" [1], to make
changes easier.
Begin with the basic framework.
