New "Deprecation and Archiving Policy" (#878)

This PR adds a "Deprecation and Archiving Policy" page to the Cordova website.

Its content is the result of this discussion on the mailing list: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/34369ada22f8a616e90471d38c8fd7def2eb17ff3ddbf4ba0b47987f@%3Cdev.cordova.apache.org%3E

This other PR over in the `cordova-contribute` repository include the steps and notice template required to deprecate a repository: https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/pull/2 It refers to the page created in this PR in multiple places.

Please feel free to nitpick any language and grammar problems - I rewrote this quite often, so it is very possible there are some "organically grown" sentences.

Build Status

Cordova Docs / Website

This repository contains the source code for the Cordova website at cordova.apache.org.

The site is also reachable with the short domain cordova.io, the important subareas as docs.cordova.io, blog.cordova.io and plugins.cordova.io.

Technical Overview

The main parts are built as a static site with Jekyll, containing the homepage and subpages, the blog and the docs.
The plugin search is an embedded PreactJS application.

Here in the repository the code of the actual site is located in /www with its subfolder /docs, /blog and /plugins.
Some additional content is pulled in during the build process.

The site is built using a gulp script that is run by Node.JS (npm run-script build). (Alternatively you can build the site using Make.) Deployments usually happen on commits to master via Travis, which runs buildAndDeploy.sh and commits the built site to a SVN repository.
