doc: Add section to attract more people towards the GNU project

[Bruno Haible]

On the gnu-prog-discuss mailing list there is agreement that it's a good idea
to have a section that invites the reader to read more about GNU and potentially
join GNU. Several people, including RMS, shaped the text.

In most packages, it's in the README. But Gnulib's documentation is entirely
in TeXinfo format. Therefore it's to be added there.

The only question were was where exactly to add this text. I chose to put it
at the end of the first chapter. Possibly there are better suggestions?
