This reverts commit 601ac82194.
Seems that git cherry-pick mis-merges files for this software.
It associates files in completely unrelated sub-trees with same name
files from this package, e.g. README.md and .gitignore.
My attempt to fix the mis-merge was incomplete and wrong.
Therefore I'm reverting the commit that as a result of my failed
attempt at conflict resolution lead to README.md and .gitignore
in the top source directory to be deleted.
This mistake has been carried over to releng/13.0, which now
also lacks README.md and .gitignore in /usr/src.
I'll try to re-apply the failed commit over the next hours and to get
the fix merged to releng/13.0 with re approval.
Inform new users what GENERIC and NOTES are. These are useful for people
perusing the tree without a great deal of specific fbsd knowledge.
See discussion of r334073 for further motivation.

Rework the README to make it a little easier for new users. This is the
first file many will see when persuing the FreeBSD source code so
- remove some of the text describes how to build. This is better covered
in the linked documentation.
- add a small blurb for what FreeBSD is. Some users might find this
document through features such as github search so they may not even
know what the project is
generally, gear this file for the new, accidental, or casual user rather
than towards someone seeking fuller documentation.
