* Document matrix multiplication operators

This is to address one of cases where a user was confused about why
Slang doesn't have operator overloading of multiplication for matrices.

It is little confusing that glsl.meta.slang implemented `operator*()`
for matrices but Slang/HLSL doesn't. It turned out that HLSL/Slang
performs a component-wise multiplication with `operator*()` whereas GLSL
performs a matrix multiplication.

* Mentioning CUDA

<content type='text'>
The files being checked in here were initially written 2-3 years ago.
They are very clearly incomplete, outdated and, quite often, inaccurate.

The intention of this change is to get an initial skeleton in place for
the large-scale structure of a language reference (for now avoiding
the term "specification" and all the weight it carries).
Future commits should be able to add to flesh out this skeleton and
start to make the document more complete and more accurate.</content>

* First pass at a language reference

We already had the `language-guide.md` document under `docs/`, but this is an attempt to introduce a more full-featured reference to the Slang language and its features.

Right now it is mostly focused on the syntax and what the language allows to be declared, and it is a little light on semantic details throughout (mostly relying on familiarity with C to explain the things that are left unsaid). Even so, this hopefully provides a starting point to continue adding more detail.

* typos and other small fixes</content>
