    intro(9): rewrite from scratch

    This page has existed as a placeholder since its creation in 1995. It
    does not provide a useful introduction to the content in this section.

    Reimagine it as a top-level overview page containing brief descriptions
    and links to existing pages in section 9. It is roughly organized into
    sub-sections, grouped by topic or subsystem. In other words, the page is
    meant to function as a map to other content.

    There is a balance to be found here between providing as many links as
    possible and keeping the page concise and searchable. In general the aim
    is to reference pages which provide the best entry point to a particular
    topic. For example, a link is given to locking(9), but not to the
    specific lock pages such as mutex(9) or rwlock(9).

    NetBSD has done something similar with their intro(9), so some
    inspiration has been taken from there, although their content doesn't
    align that closely with what we have.

    I have done a thorough review of our existing pages and formed these
    subsections around them, but they are meant to evolve.
