Add ADOPTERS.md as single source of truth for gvisor users

Create ADOPTERS.md in the repository root documenting known production
users and adopters of gVisor. Connect ADOPTERS.md directly to the website
build system so the website is generated from this markdown document,
eliminating the need to maintain a separate HTML page.
