vbe: Add some documentation
Add a few links to documents about Verified Boot for Embedded (VBE).
These will be expanded as development proceeds.

+Verified Boot for Embedded (VBE)
+================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+VBE provides a standard boot mechanism for embedded systems. If defines
+how firmware and Operating Systems are located, updated and verified.
+
+Within U-Boot, one or more VBE bootmeths implement the boot logic. For example,
+the vbe-simple bootmeth handles finding the firmware (e.g. in MMC) and starting
+it. Typically the bootmeth is started up in VPL and controls which SPL and
+U-Boot binaries are loaded.
+
+A 'vbe' command provides access to various aspects of VBE's operation, including
+listing methods and getting the status for a method.
+
+For a detailed overview of VBE, see vbe-intro_. A fuller description of
+bootflows is at vbe-bootflows_ and the firmware-update mechanism is described at
+vbe-fwupdate_.
