Add documentation for ChromeOS workflows

This change consolidates some of the spread out information about
what ChromeOS developers need to know about crosvms differences to
other ChromeOS projects.

I created a new directory since I would expect a similar guide for
AOSP eventually.

This also adds more documentation on some of the process changes
suggested in go/crosvm-merge-improvements to improve the
stability of the merge process.

crosvm - The Chrome OS Virtual Machine Monitor

crosvm is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) based on Linux’s KVM hypervisor, with a focus on simplicity, security, and speed. crosvm is intended to run Linux guests, originally as a security boundary for running native applications on the Chrome OS platform. Compared to QEMU, crosvm doesn’t emulate architectures or real hardware, instead concentrating on paravirtualized devices, such as the virtio standard.

crosvm is currently used to run Linux/Android guests on Chrome OS devices.
