docs: move some of them to the root directory
Lets move CodingStyle, SubmittingPatches, and Sponsors into the root directory of netsniff-ng and remove the Documentation folder. Some of those files are quite bloated, and most of these things should be in the man-pages anyway. They should be the only big sources of documentation, nothing else. The rest is currently put here: http://pub.netsniff-ng.org/docs/ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

-Tools:
-//////
-
-The toolkit is split into small, useful utilities that are or are not
-necessarily related to each other. Each program for itself fills a gap as
-a helper in your daily network debugging, development or audit.
-
-*netsniff-ng* is a high-performance network analyzer based on packet mmap(2)
-mechanisms. It can record pcap files to disc, replay them and also do an
-offline and online analysis. Capturing, analysis or replay of raw 802.11
-frames are supported as well. pcap files are also compatible with tcpdump
-or Wireshark traces. netsniff-ng processes those pcap traces either in
-scatter-gather I/O or by mmap(2) I/O.
-
-*trafgen* is a high-performance network traffic generator based on packet
-mmap(2) mechanisms. It has its own flexible, macro-based low-level packet
-configuration language. Injection of raw 802.11 frames are supported as well.
-trafgen has a significantly higher speed than mausezahn and comes very close
-to pktgen, but runs from user space. pcap traces can also be converted into
-a trafgen packet configuration.
-
-*mausezahn* is a performant high-level packet generator that can run on a
-hardware-software appliance and comes with a Cisco-like CLI. It can craft
-nearly every possible or impossible packet. Thus, it can be used, for example,
-to test network behaviour under strange circumstances (stress test, malformed
-packets) or to test hardware-software appliances for several kind of attacks.
-
-*bpfc* is a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) compiler that understands the original
-BPF language developed by McCanne and Jacobson. It accepts BPF mnemonics and
-converts them into kernel/netsniff-ng readable BPF ``opcodes''. It also
-supports undocumented Linux filter extensions. This can especially be useful
-for more complicated filters, that high-level filters fail to support.
-
-*ifpps* is a tool which periodically provides top-like networking and system
-statistics from the Linux kernel. It gathers statistical data directly from
-procfs files and does not apply any user space traffic monitoring that would
-falsify statistics on high packet rates. For wireless, data about link
-connectivity is provided as well.
-
-*flowtop* is a top-like connection tracking tool that can run on an end host
-or router. It is able to present TCP, UDP(lite), SCTP, DCCP, ICMP(v6) flows
-that have been collected by the kernel's netfilter connection tracking
-framework. GeoIP and TCP/SCTP/DCCP state machine information is displayed.
-Also, on end hosts flowtop can show PIDs and application names that flows
-relate to as well as aggregated packet and byte counter (if available). No
-user space traffic monitoring is done, thus all data is gathered by the kernel.
-
-*curvetun* is a lightweight, high-speed ECDH multiuser VPN for Linux. curvetun
-uses the Linux TUN/TAP interface and supports {IPv4,IPv6} over {IPv4,IPv6} with
-UDP or TCP as carrier protocols. Packets are encrypted end-to-end by a
-symmetric stream cipher (Salsa20) and authenticated by a MAC (Poly1305), where
-keys have previously been computed with the ECDH key agreement
-protocol (Curve25519).
-
-*astraceroute* is an autonomous system (AS) trace route utility. Unlike
-traceroute or tcptraceroute, it not only display hops, but also their AS
-information they belong to as well as GeoIP information and other interesting
-things. On default, it uses a TCP probe packet and falls back to ICMP probes
-in case no ICMP answer has been received.
