Firmware Test Suite Portal

The Firmware Test Suite (fwts) portal page is the first place to visit for all fwts related links.   It has links to:

• Where to get the latest source code (git repository and tarballs)
• PPAs for the latest and stable packages
• Release notes (always read these to see what is new!)
• Reference Guide / Documentation
• How to report a bug (against firmware or fwts)
• Release schedule, cadence and versioning

Thanks to Keng-Yu Lin for setting this up.
