Provide enough information to get a build going without hunting
down packages.
If someone wants to add info for macos or other distros, that
would probably be nice as well.

Some most obvious outdated content updated a bit more.
The new dedicated docs directory has been introduced after a discussion
on GitHub[1].
Main issue it is addressing is the reduction of too many README files in
the project root directory. The new directory is dedicated for notes and
quick documentation files that either can't be put in the manual or wiki
pages or that relate to the php-src repository specifically and need to
live together with the source code.
Also the `docs` directory is by GitHub used for some repository
configuration files such as pull request templates, and contributing
documentation helper files that are integrated in the interface.

This patch joins two very much related pieces of docs together in a
single file dedicated to all sorts of contributing info.
Some more changes:
- Branches info copied from the current master branch
- LXR and bonsai info removed
- Duplicated info reduced a bit
- Security branch updated to 7.1
- Refactor intro for Git commit rules
- Updated README.GIT-RULES file usage in win32/build/confutils.js
- Refactored configure.ac
The `make install` step touches files outside of the source directory
and might cause confusions with people. It should be mentioned in more
details elsewhere in the installation chapter instead and how to
override it.
- Initial refactorings of the README.md file with some more user
oriented information about the php-src repository and PHP in general.
- SVG logo added
- README.WIN32-BUILD-SYSTEM file contents moved to README.md
- INSTALL file contents moved to README.md
- Windows releases now instead of install.txt file ship with the
README.md.
- A brief installation section added with help options mentioned for the
configure and make.
- Also mentioned the `-j` option for build and tests

The qa.php.net currently includes nice collection of information about
tests and how to run them. Instead of maintaining two locations of this
information, this patch removes the README.TESTING from the php-src
repo. Patch for qa.php.net has been sent separately to that repo.
This patch adds missing newlines, trims multiple redundant final
newlines into a single one, and trims redundant leading newlines.
According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-' <newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.
C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."
Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

Github uses a special markdown syntax and display the content of the README
formatted on the front page of the repo. This readme contains information for
github users.
