docs: convert articles to reructuredtext

reStructuredText, which is both easier to read offline, and can be used
to generate modern HTML for online documentation.

No modification to the generated results have been done.

+License and Copyright
+=====================
+
+Disclaimer
+----------
+
+Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that
+of
+`OpenGL <https://www.opengl.org/>`__\ :sup:`[`\ `1 <#trademark>`__\ :sup:`]`.
+To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state
+machine, it is being used with authorization from `Silicon Graphics,
+Inc. <https://www.sgi.com/>`__\ (SGI). However, the author does not
+possess an OpenGL license from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in
+any way a compatible replacement for OpenGL or associated with SGI.
+Those who want a licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a
+licensed vendor.
+
+Please do not refer to the library as *MesaGL* (for legal reasons). It's
+just *Mesa* or *The Mesa 3-D graphics library*.
+
+[1]: OpenGL is a trademark of `Silicon Graphics
+Incorporated <https://www.sgi.com/>`__.
