c-ares website

The c-ares website uses Jekyll as a templating system to generate static html content, which is then hosted on GitHub Pages.

Some content, such as the manpages, are generated externally by the Makefile. Manpages in particular depend on roffit for conversion to HTML.

The c-ares source code is expected to exist in a directory named c-ares.git to pull in manpage content along with some other files like LICENSE.md and SECURITY.md.
