Gold856 97d0b15f7d Add README files for some subprojects and update various other docs (#8640)
Adds a section on design philosophy so we have something to point to
when people suggest features that aren't compatible with the way WPILib
is designed. Fixes some missed reorg changes (although the native-utils
link intentionally points to main as to be up-to-date in the future) and
generally cleans up any outdated information. Also includes wording
about supporting FTC. Per discussion in Slack, the LabVIEW wording has
been removed, and anything to do with LabVIEW is going to have to be
NI's job. And pursuant to #2757 and #5331, additional (light) developer
documentation has been added to some subprojects, mostly being a quick
summary of the what the project does and what it's for (or not for).

HAL DS Socket

This is an extension that allows the Driver Station to communicate with the robot program. Note that not everything has been reimplemented, since lots of DS data like battery voltage doesn't apply in simulation.

Configuration

The only environment variable the extension supports is DS_TIMEOUT_MS, which is the amount of milliseconds it takes for a UDP packet to arrive from the DS before the robot program automatically disables. Default value is 100, representing 100 milliseconds.
