Adapt website to use g3doc sources and bazel.

This adapts the merged website repository to use the image and bazel
build framework. It explicitly avoids the container_image rules provided
by bazel, opting instead to build with direct docker commands when
necessary.

The relevant build commands are incorporated into the top-level
Makefile.

+# Platforms (KVM)
+
+This document will help you set up your system to use a different gVisor
+platform.
+
+## What is a Platform?
+
+gVisor requires a *platform* to implement interception of syscalls, basic
+context switching, and memory mapping functionality. These are described in
+more depth in the [Platform Design](../../architecture_guide/platforms/).
+
+## Selecting a Platform
+
+The platform is selected by the `--platform` command line flag passed to
+`runsc`. By default, the ptrace platform is selected. To select a different
+platform, modify your Docker configuration (`/etc/docker/daemon.json`) to
+pass this argument:
+
+```json
+{
+    "runtimes": {
+        "runsc": {
+            "path": "/usr/local/bin/runsc",
+            "runtimeArgs": [
+                "--platform=kvm"
+            ]
+       }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You must restart the Docker daemon after making changes to this file, typically
+this is done via `systemd`:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart docker
+```
+
+## Example: Using the KVM Platform
+
+The KVM platform is currently experimental; however, it provides several
+benefits over the default ptrace platform.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+You will also to have KVM installed on your system. If you are running a Debian
+based system like Debian or Ubuntu you can usually do this by installing the
+`qemu-kvm` package.
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm
+```
+
+If you are using a virtual machine you will need to make sure that nested
+virtualization is configured. Here are links to documents on how to set up
+nested virtualization in several popular environments:
+
+* Google Cloud: [Enabling Nested Virtualization for VM Instances][nested-gcp]
+* Microsoft Azure: [How to enable nested virtualization in an Azure VM][nested-azure]
+* VirtualBox: [Nested Virtualization][nested-virtualbox]
+* KVM: [Nested Guests][nested-kvm]
+
+***Note: nested virtualization will have poor performance and is historically a
+cause of security issues (e.g.
+[CVE-2018-12904](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-12904)). It is not
+recommended for production.***
+
+### Configuring Docker
+
+Per above, you will need to configure Docker to use `runsc` with the KVM
+platform.  You will remember from the Docker Quick Start that you configured
+Docker to use `runsc` as the runtime.  Docker allows you to add multiple
+runtimes to the Docker configuration.
+
+Add a new entry for the KVM platform entry to your Docker configuration
+(`/etc/docker/daemon.json`) in order to provide the `--platform=kvm` runtime
+argument.
+
+In the end, the file should look something like:
+
+```json
+{
+    "runtimes": {
+        "runsc": {
+            "path": "/usr/local/bin/runsc"
+        },
+        "runsc-kvm": {
+            "path": "/usr/local/bin/runsc",
+            "runtimeArgs": [
+                "--platform=kvm"
+            ]
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You must restart the Docker daemon after making changes to this file, typically
+this is done via `systemd`:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart docker
+```
+
+## Running a container
+
+Now run your container using the `runsc-kvm` runtime. This will run the
+container using the KVM platform:
+
+```bash
+docker run --runtime=runsc-kvm --rm hello-world
+```
