Subject: docs: Add initial version of Docusaurus based docs

This change updates the repository with a new Docusaurus-based
documentation website. This allows us to create our documentation using
Markdown, MDX and React. This will serve as the main entry point for
users visiting https://opendc.org. The actual OpenDC application will be
moved to https://app.opendc.org.

+# Introduction
+
+OpenDC is a free and open-source platform for cloud datacenter simulation aimed at both research and education.

+
+Users can construct new datacenter designs and define portfolios of scenarios (experiments) to explore how their designs
+perform under different workloads, schedulers, and phenomena (e.g., failures or performance interference).
+
+OpenDC is accessible both as a ready-to-use platform hosted by us online at [app.opendc.org](https://app.opendc.org), and as
+source code that users can run locally on their own machine or via Docker.
+
+To learn more about OpenDC, have a look through our paper on [OpenDC 2.0](https://atlarge-research.com/pdfs/ccgrid21-opendc-paper.pdf)
+or on our [vision](https://atlarge-research.com/pdfs/opendc-vision17ispdc_cr.pdf).
