Add a README.md. This document attempts to describe some commonly needed use-cases. The build.sh command is opinionated but it's for the sake of having a command that can be copied and probably works without needing to inform the user about what various options do. Discussed in tech-toolchain. I've added some links suggested by kamil and switched to calling arm64 'aarch64' as requested by richard earnshaw.

- Send bugs and patches [via web form](https://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd).
- Subscribe to the [mailing lists](https://www.NetBSD.org/mailinglists/).
The [netbsd-users](https://www.NetBSD.org/mailinglists/#netbsd-users) list is a good choice for many problems; watch [current-users](https://www.NetBSD.org/mailinglists/#current-users) if you follow the bleeding edge of NetBSD-current.
