[RFC] Let the Wiki (wiki.lede-project.org) serve as the main web site (www.lede-project.org)

[Rich Brown]

Update: I have imported all the changes of the asciidoc pages into the wiki (wiki.lede-project.org), so that it is current wrt the Web github repo.

I'll second Jo's request for thoughts about switching www.lede-project.org to the wiki. Thanks!
