* docs: document the staging branch and add reference to itEmil Velikov2018-11-151-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | A while back we agreed that having a live/staging branch is beneficial. Sadly we forgot to document that, so here is my first attempt. Document the caveat that the branch history is not stable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have extra (somewhat questionable) modularity, such that one could build some parts with LLVM while others w/o. That is extremely fragile, error prone and requires quite noticable amount of code throughout. Thus lets deprecate the gallium toggle in faviour of the generic one. The former will throw a warning when set, and it will be overwritten by the latter. This will allow gradual transition w/o breaking people's scripts. v2: Rebase, document in release notes.
