docs(tvix): create Welcome + Contributing sections

A lot of this content needs to be duplicated from the monorepo’s root
directory. However, some of the content was not relevant or could have
been more condensed in descriptions or split up for consumption that
also matched the styles of some other library documentation I had been
looking at for examples. I wanted to add the new access to Admonish
callouts but also aimed at the readablitiy in one’s text editor for the
user that needs to `cat` the docs.

In the future, a “Introduction” page would be nice to add to “Welcome”,
but I don’t think that is as clear.

# Submitting changes via email
With SSO & local accounts, hopefully Tvix provides you a low-friction or
privacy-respecting way to make contributions by means of
[TVLs self-hosted Gerrit][gerrit]. However, if you still decide differently,
you may submit a patch via email to `depot@tvl.su` where it will be added to
Gerrit by a contributor.
Please keep in mind this process is more complicated requiring extra work from
both us & you:
* You will need to manually check the Gerrit website for updates & someone will
need to relay potential comments to/from Gerrit to you as you wont get
emails from Gerrit.
* New revisions need to be stewarded by someone uploading changes to Gerrit
on your behalf.
* As CLs cannot change owners, if you decide to get a Gerrit account later on
existing CLs need to be abandoned then recreated. This introduces more churn
to the review process since prior discussion are disconnected.
Create an appropriate commit locally then send it us using either of these
options:
* `git format-patch`: This will create a `*.patch` file which you should email to
us.
* `git send-email`: If configured on your system, this will take care of the
whole emailing process for you.
The email address is a [public inbox][].
