Convert README docs to MkDocs format. The existing documentation was getting *way* too long to be a single document. I've just bulk moved the existing content into the new structure, but it definitely needs another pass to make the prose match, fix hyperlinks, etc. etc.

When launching icarus,
directly or by picking "Import ROM Files ..."
Starting to fix broken links in the documentation. Also, moved the "you should install the GBA BIOS" advice from the install pages (where I doubt anybody would see it) to the "importing and playing" guide, which I figure people are more likely to stumble across. The actually instructions are still in `install/general.md` for lack of anywhere more appropriate.

with customisations:
- The filesystem browser only lists
files with extensions typically used for ROM dumps from
consoles higan emulates,
plus `.zip` files since ROM dumps are often compressed.
- Each matching file has a check-box next to it.
- You can tick the check-box next to every file at once
by pressing "Select All" in the bottom-left.
- You can un-tick all the check-boxes
by pressing "Unselect All" in the bottom-left.
Pressing "Settings ..." in the bottom-right
opens [the icarus Settings dialog](#the-icarus-settings-dialog).
Pressing "Import ..." in the bottom-right
will close the filesystem browser
then try to import all the files
whose check-boxes are ticked

The icarus Settings dialog

The icarus Settings dialog contains the following settings:
- **Library Location** determines
where icarus puts the games it imports.

- **Create Manifests** causes icarus
Fix all the broken links. Also, some of the text in the higan and icarus settings docs wanted to link to a discussion of why we ignore manifests by default; now we have such a thing.

[a manifest file](../concepts/manifests.md)

for each imported game.

- **Use Database** causes icarus to use manifest information
from its database of known-good manifests,
if it's importing a game it recognises.
For unrecognised games,
and for all games if this box is unticked,
icarus gueses the manifest data.
This option is still relevant when "Create Manifests" is unticked:
higan uses icarus to generate a manifest when a game is loaded,
not just at import-time.
