docs: move major versions history out of front-page 

The features added in each major version is also unlikely the first things
someone wants to know about Mesa. So let's move this into the
versions.rst article.

This documentation is severely out of date anyway, and as it doesn't
seem like anyone is interested in documenting this any more, we should
probably consider driopping versions.rst entirely in the longer run.

But for now, this makes the front-page much more approachable.

Major Versions
--------------
This is a summary of the major versions of Mesa. Mesa's major version
number has been incremented whenever a new version of the OpenGL
specification is implemented.
Version 12.x features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 12.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 4.3 API, but not all drivers
support OpenGL 4.3.
Initial support for Vulkan is also included.
Version 11.x features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 11.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 4.1 API, but not all drivers
support OpenGL 4.1.
Version 10.x features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 10.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 3.3 API, but not all drivers
support OpenGL 3.3.
Version 9.x features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 9.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 3.1 API. While the driver for
Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge is the only driver to support OpenGL
3.1, many developers across the open-source community contributed
features required for OpenGL 3.1. The primary features added since the
Mesa 8.0 release are GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object and
GL_ARB_uniform_buffer_object.
Version 9.0 of Mesa also included the first release of the Clover state
tracker for OpenCL.
Version 8.x features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 8.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 3.0 API. The developers at
Intel deserve a lot of credit for implementing most of the OpenGL 3.0
features in core Mesa, the GLSL compiler as well as the i965 driver.
Version 7.x features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 7.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 2.1 API. The main feature of
OpenGL 2.x is the OpenGL Shading Language.
Version 6.x features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 6.x of Mesa implements the OpenGL 1.5 API with the following
extensions incorporated as standard features:
- GL_ARB_occlusion_query
- GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object
- GL_EXT_shadow_funcs
Also note that several OpenGL tokens were renamed in OpenGL 1.5 for the
sake of consistency. The old tokens are still available.
