Philip Withnall 088df783c0 docs: Convert GVariant Specification to reStructuredText
This is a verbatim conversion of the GVariant Specification from
https://people.gnome.org/~desrt/gvariant-serialisation.pdf /
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ostreedev/gvariant-rs/master/docs/gvariant-serialisation.pdf
to reStructuredText.

This is for several reasons:
 1. The canonical copy has gone offline due to people.gnome.org being
    shut down.
 2. GLib is the reference implementation of GVariant, so should probably
    host the specification (unless someone wants to host it on
    freedesktop-specs).
 3. Moving it out of a PDF and into reStructuredText should allow for
    amendments. The specification has a few problems, typos and
    oversights in its original form, and it would be good to canonically
    fix them without having to write a separate addendum document.

This conversion is verbatim, and does not change the content of the
document at all, even to fix typos and broken links (which there are a
small number of in the PDF).

This describes what I’m labelling as version 1.0 of the GVariant
serialisation format. Updates to the specification can bump this version
number, in subsequent commits.
