In the Rust for Linux patch series, Jonathan Corbet requested [1] that
we avoid binary assets (such as the logo), possibly by recreating
them in SVG format.
However, it turns out there is no SVG version of the Linux logo
in the kernel tree yet, only a GIF one from the pre-v2.0.0 days.
This patch fixes that by adding a SVG version of the Linux logo,
which we could then use in the Rust for Linux documentation and
other similar places.
This is a vector re-illustration by Garrett LeSage of the original
logo by Larry Ewing, plus cleanups by IFo Hancroft.
The file was imported as-is from:
ecd40de642/tux.svg
The stated license in the repository is:
> Public domain http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
>
> ...but, if anyone asks:
>
> Tux was originally made by Larry Ewing in the Gimp, re-illustrated
> in vector by Garrett LeSage, using Inkscape and refined and
> cleaned up by IFo Hancroft.
Here, the acknowledgement requirement has been made mandatory to
match the wording of the existing GIF logo in `COPYING-logo`.
Both Garrett LeSage and IFo Hancroft gave their permission [2,3]
to use their re-illustration with the license as given in
the `COPYING-logo` file.

Having assets in the top-level `Documentation` directory can make
it harder to find the documents one needs, especially if we want
to add more of them later on.
Instead, create a new `images` folder inside it that is used
to hold assets such as logos.
In addition, update the reference in `scripts/spdxcheck-test.sh`.
