Help: Add guides for user interaction

Stephen Kelly requested to merge steveire/cmake:doc-user-interaction into master

Add some prose to the documentation index page to guide readers to the major manuals and guides.

Add a new "User Interaction Guide" to help the class of new user who wishes to build a project with CMake for the first time, such as after cloning a repo from a git repository.

Add a new "Using Dependencies Guide" to help the class of new user who wishes to consume a SDK provided by a third party and needs a starting point. This is a different type of user to the user who wishes to create their own project from scratch (addressed by the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual) as each will encounter needs for information discovery in a different order.
