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. PiperOrigin-RevId: 971515749

21+
> checkpoint and restore to start each execution in a fresh, single-use sandbox.
22+
> Its filesystem extension points let us present durable, versioned storage as
23+
> familiar files and directories, while its network stack helps us control each
24+
> step's network access and bandwidth.
