Add Getting Started guide

[dnestoro]

This PR adds a guide that shows how newcomers can start using Native Gradle Plugin

Great! I would have been happy to have this getting started in the past.

Perhaps it would be worth to also mention theses JUnit 5 configurations:

It would be great if you could create a Github repository with the getting started code.

Use ```json

We should use the new format here.

I am extremely confused. We already have a getting started guide. It's even mentioned in the README and is published alongside the release: https://graalvm.github.io/native-build-tools/latest/gradle-plugin-quickstart.html

Why are we adding another one instead, if needed, to fix the other one?

[jeanbisutti]

The getting started of this PR provides useful additional information, such an agent example with the conditional mode.

But why creating a new guide? The old one should be fixed. Now we have 2, and this one is inconsistently published (.md file instead of generated, versioned docs).

Agree

[vjovanov]

This is a simplified guide where one comes and sees the exact steps they need to do to support a library.

What other guide do we have? I am aware of our docs, but I feel they are more of reference manual.

What other guide do we have?

On the GitHub home page, we have:

This links to https://graalvm.github.io/native-build-tools/latest/gradle-plugin-quickstart.html

which is also crossed referenced from the reference documentation: https://graalvm.github.io/native-build-tools/latest/gradle-plugin.html#quickstart

Both quickstart guide and reference docs are generated by asciidoctor: https://github.com/graalvm/native-build-tools/tree/db65d975c6e05ccd1f5d9f0bf7ddb163e7866691/docs/src/docs/asciidoc

[dnestoro]

I think that we can fuse this guide with the existing one. Existing one misses few points explained in this guide (like agent modes, how to pass runtime/buildtime options, slightly more details about metadataCopy task, how to run tests in the CI...).

Another important point is accessibility of the guide. I think it should be one of the first items on the main docs page. At the moment it looks a bit hidden.

Yes, I think the main page deserves a revamp. Especially now that there are so many releases, having the changelog as the TOC doesn't quite make sense anymore.
