libcrucible at one time in the distant past had to be a shared library
to force global C++ object initialization; however, this is no longer
required.
Make libcrucible static to solve various rpath and soname versioning
issues, especially when distros try (unwisely) to package the library
separately.

Split the rather large README into smaller sections with a pitch and
a ToC at the top.
Move the sections into docs/ so that Github Pages can read them.
'make doc' produces a local HTML tree.
Update the kernel bugs and gotchas list.
Add some information that has been accumulating in Github comments.
Remove information about bugs in kernels earlier than 4.14.

When package maintainers build from a tarball, the .git directory does
not exist to extract the version tag. Let's add a hack to work around
this issue and let them specify `BEES_VERSION="v0.y"` on the make
cmdline.

This forces us to depend on markdown which would be otherwise optional.
Most of the time it is sufficient to let package managers just install
the README.md file.

This commit removes USR_PREFIX and introduces ETC_PREFIX instead. The
purpose of PREFIX is the installation prefix in the system, not the
installation destination. The latter one is what DESTDIR is used for.
This should clear up the confusion. PREFIX was already mis-used as
installation destination. But that doesn't mix well with how the make
targets are designed.

There's now a new make target called "install_tools" which would not run
by default on installation.
One can add "OPTIONAL_INSTALL_TARGETS=install_tools" into localconf to
install these by default.
fiewalk would be installed to sbin, as only root can run it, the other
goes to bin.
Gentoo can use this to optionally install these tools as a package
feature.

Instead, introduce "make reallyall" and make it the default target. Now,
one can override the default target using localconf.
Needed for preparing Gentoo ebuild test behavior.

In preparation for Gentoo QA checks during ebuild merge phase, let's
make some more of the filesystem layout adjustable.

In Gentoo, usage of DESTDIR is automatically handled by the build system
to support installation into a clean image from which the package is
created.
Thus, let's add DESTDIR to the install targets. One can now correctly
install bees with packaging systems simply by running:
$ DESTDIR=/tmp/bees-image make all install
This will no longer mess up with the PREFIX setting.

It happened more than once that I ran just "make install" only, which
doesn't install the scripts.
Let's fix this by renaming the previous install target to install_bees,
and then make a new install target which depends on each install target
and thus installs the complete distribution.
It doesn't hurt to install those few scripts. I don't see the point in
separating the install targets as it was previously done.

If two utilities are found, we get commands like
/usr/bin/markdown /usr/bin/markdown_py README.md > README.html

Currently scheme lead to path like:
/tmp/makepkg/bees-git/pkg/bees-git/usr/lib/bees/bees
While packaging, so allow do:
make
make scripts
make install ...
make install_scripts ...

To install for different distributions, LIBEXEC_PREFIX can now be set.
It defaults to $(PREFIX)/usr/lib/bees as used in most common
distributions.
Local overrides are possible by setting variables in a "localconf" file
which will be included by the Makefile if it exists.
For some distributions you may want to set it to /usr/libexec or
/usr/libexec/bees.
