Andrew Tridgell 0af88421dc import rsync-web website content as a subdirectory
Fold the standalone rsync-web repo into the rsync source tree as
rsync-web/, eliminating the sibling-checkout convention and the
drift it causes between the release-time HTML snapshot in
../release/rsync-html and the source of truth in ../rsync-web.

Flat-copy import (no git history merge).  The standalone repo at
github.com/RsyncProject/rsync-web is retained for historical
reference and will be archived once the in-tree copy proves itself.

Add /rsync-web/ to .gitattributes with export-ignore so the
website content does not bloat the release source tarball
produced by 'git archive' in packaging/release.py step_7_tarball.

A follow-up commit repoints HTML_SRC in packaging/release.py at
the new in-tree location.

rsync is a file transfer program for Unix systems. rsync uses the
"rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing
remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences
in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of
files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. <p>
Some features of rsync include
<ul>
<li> can update whole directory trees and filesystems
<li> optionally preserves symbolic links, hard links, file ownership,
permissions, devices and times
<li> requires no special privileges to install
<li> internal pipelining reduces latency for multiple files
<li> can use rsh, ssh or direct sockets as the transport
<li> supports <A HREF="http://dslab.lzu.edu.cn:8080/members/wangbj/wangbaojun/howtos/rsync-mirror-HOWTO/rsync-mirroring02.html">anonymous rsync</A> which is ideal for mirroring
</ul>
