docs: convert articles to reructuredtext

This uses the previously added scripts to convert the documentation to
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.

+Mesa 7.9 Release Notes / October 4, 2010
+========================================
+
+Mesa 7.9 is a new development release. People who are concerned with
+stability and reliability should stick with a previous release or wait
+for Mesa 7.9.1.
+
+Mesa 7.9 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
+glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
+Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.
+
+See the `Compiling/Installing page <../install.html>`__ for
+prerequisites for DRI hardware acceleration.

+New features
+------------
+
+-  New, improved GLSL compiler written by Intel. See the `Shading
+   Language <../shading.html>`__ page for more information.
+-  New, very experimental Gallium driver for R600-R700 Radeons.
+-  Support for AMD Evergreen-based Radeons (HD 5xxx)
+-  GL_EXT_timer_query extension (i965 driver and softpipe only)
+-  GL_EXT_framebuffer_multisample extension (intel drivers, MAX_SAMPLES
+   = 1)
+-  GL_ARB_texture_swizzle extension (alias of GL_EXT_texture_swizzle)
+-  GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex, GL_ARB_fragment_program_shadow,
+   GL_ARB_window_pos, GL_EXT_gpu_program_parameters,
+   GL_ATI_texture_env_combine3, GL_MESA_pack_invert, and
+   GL_OES_EGL_image extensions in Gallium drivers
+-  GL_ARB_depth_clamp and GL_NV_depth_clamp extensions (in nv50 and r600
+   Gallium drivers)
+-  GL_ARB_half_float_vertex extension (in nvfx, r300, r600, softpipe,
+   and llvmpipe Gallium drivers)
+-  GL_EXT_draw_buffers2 (in nv50, r600, softpipe, and llvmpipe Gallium
+   drivers)
+-  GL_EXT_texture_swizzle (in nvfx, r300, r600, softpipe, and llvmpipe
+   Gallium drivers)
+-  GL_ATI_texture_mirror_once (in nvfx, nv50, r300, r600, softpipe, and
+   llvmpipe Gallium drivers)
+-  GL_NV_conditional_render (in r300 Gallium driver)
+-  Initial "signs of life" support for Sandybridge hardware in i965 DRI
+   driver.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+This list is likely incomplete.
+
+-  Massive improvements to the Gallium driver for R300-R500 Radeons;
+   this driver is now considered stable for use as a DRI (OpenGL)
+   driver.
