Erico Nunes 48d48fbf3c docs/lima: add an initial page for Lima
This is a cleaned up and updated version of the readme page for Lima
that was until now being maintained separately.
Let's move it in-tree so it is maintained along with the pages for
other similar drivers.

Introduction
============
The Mesa project began as an open-source implementation of the
`OpenGL`_ specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics.
Over the years the project has grown to implement more graphics APIs,
including `OpenGL ES`_, `OpenCL`_, `OpenMAX`_, `VDPAU`_, `VA API`_,
`XvMC`_, `Vulkan`_ and `EGL`_.
A variety of device drivers allows the Mesa libraries to be used in many
different environments ranging from software emulation to complete
hardware acceleration for modern GPUs.
Mesa ties into several other open-source projects: the `Direct Rendering
Infrastructure`_ and `X.org`_ to provide OpenGL support on Linux, FreeBSD
and other operating systems.
