home page: remove technical benefits, add GNU philosophy

libreboot has always had the same goals an the GNU project, but
the current home page does not adequately convey this. Fix that.

-		<h2>Why are we doing this?</h2>
-			<p>
-				Most people in the global <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a> community are using free operating systems; namely, the <a href="https://gnu.org/">GNU operating system</a>.
-				However, most of them are still relying on proprietary software to boot their operating system, via software
-				called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware">firmware</a> (often referred to as
-				the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS">BIOS</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface">UEFI</a>).
-				The goal of libreboot is identical to that of the <a href="https://gnu.org/">GNU project</a> and <a href="https://fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</a>, which is to ensure that everyone
-				has the freedom to use, study, adapt and share software freely; more broadly, the freedom to truly own and control the technology that they use.

-		<h2>What are the technical benefits?</h2>
-			<p>
-				Libreboot has many practical advantages over <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/">proprietary</a> boot
-				firmware, such as faster boot speeds and better security; source audits are possible and,
-				therefore, the firmware is unlikely to contain <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_%28computing%29">backdoors</a> (common in proprietary firmware). You
-				can <a href="docs/gnulinux/index.html">install GNU/Linux with encrypted /boot/</a>, <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/GRUB2#signed_kernels">verify GPG signatures on your kernel</a>,
-				write-protect the flash chip, run a <a href="http://proteanos.com/">full operating system</a> directly
-				from the flash chip (planned for a future release), and more.
