Some new documentation for "how to make FreeRADIUS do what I want"

  We've been busy working on v4, including making sure that every aspect of the server is extensively documented.


  I've just written a document on "policies".  But it's really "how do I get this software to do what I want, without going crazy".

https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/master/doc/antora/modules/reference/pages/policy/index.adoc

  It gives a detailed guide to the methods used to create FreeRADIUS configurations.

  There's also a document on why FreeRADIUS is so complex to configure:

https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/master/doc/antora/modules/reference/pages/policy/different.adoc

  This should help to explain why we can't just have a shiny button which says "do what I want".  The configuration is much, much, more complex than that.

  v4 also has complete documentation for each unlang keyword:  https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/master/doc/antora/modules/reference/pages/unlang/index.adoc

  This documentation applies to v4, but it's _mostly_ compatible with v3.  Where there are changes from v3, the documentation explains it.

  Hopefully this helps.  We're not just wishing that v4 comes out one day.  We're actively working on it.
