Create first iteration of Accelerating Cloud Native in Telco whitepaper

v1.0 Accelerating Cloud Native in Telco whitepaper

The first iteration of the whitepaper "Accelerating Cloud Native in Telco" on the Challenges of Cloud Native Telco Transformation today and how to overcome them - A CSP perspective.

This version has the following main areas for the topic:
- introduction, challenges, principles, and requirements
- annexes and references

Other updates for the whitepaper were numerous including:
- CSP contributors and adoption of principles and requirements outlines
- Reformulated the introduction to make compliance statements mutual for vendor + CSP
- Added an explicit reference to x86 HW as mainstream HW.
* commercial model language update
- adding date and version
- grammar, spelling, adding @ashanvbs suggested full-stops
* GitOps annex and references (#289)
- annex for 12 factor for CNFs
- K8s clarifications
- Clarify mutual responsibility for adopting cloud native for CSPs and Vendors
   - phrasing for benefiting CSPs and vendors updated
* added reference to cloud native infrastructure (#288)
- PDF version created at https://dillinger.io/ from the raw markdown

 This document is a product of the initial joint work of several Communication Service Providers (CSPs) who are active in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)’s Cloud Native Network Function Working Group (CNF WG), NGMN Alliance, and projects like Linux Foundation (LF) Europe’s Sylva and Linux Foundation Networking (LFN) Anuket project. It is a draft that has been published with the goal of inviting feedback from other CSPs and motivating discussion and improvements from the broader telecommunication industry. We hope that through public discourse we can make the document more complete, relevant, and ready for final release. If you would like to contribute to the discussion and document, please feel free to open an issue or create a pull request.

  requirements that will aid the industry in achieving alignment and overcoming obstacles. In this whitepaper, we are defining Kubernetes as the de-facto runtime environment for hosting the Cloud Native Network Functions (CNFs). We also use the term cloud-native infrastructure in broader context for the infrastructure that abstracts Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) layer, that has Kubernetes in its core with useful API abstractions on top of it as as well as auxiliary systems all as a framework that makes managing applications easier and promotes doing so in a cloud native way. 
 This is important because you are free to use Kubernetes (and other "cloud native" technologies) in a very uncloud-native way. Our longer-term goal, underlying this whitepaper, is for all layers of the environment to encompass the cloud native principles from infrastructure allocation + management, through the application workloads. A more in-depth analysis of these terms can be found in the book ["Cloud Native Infrastructure"](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/cloud-native-infrastructure/9781491984291/) by Justin Garrison and Kris Nova.
