This adds rst files containg documentation files relevant for
libbpf development. naming_convention.rst is pulled from the
previous README.rst file. api.rst is an index page that links
to the api documentation generationg from doxygen+breathe.

+Building libbpf
+=======================================
+
+libelf is an internal dependency of libbpf and thus it is required to link
+against and must be installed on the system for applications to work.
+pkg-config is used by default to find libelf, and the program called
+can be overridden with PKG_CONFIG.
+
+If using pkg-config at build time is not desired, it can be disabled by
+setting NO_PKG_CONFIG=1 when calling make.
+
+To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ cd src
+ $ make
+
+To build only static libbpf.a library in directory build/ and install them
+together with libbpf headers in a staging directory root/:
