docs: update virgl description

is no longer the docs for the entire project.

VirGL is a research project to investigate the possibility of creating a

guest operating system to use the capabilities of the host GPU to
accelerate 3D rendering. The plan is to have a guest GPU that is fully

independent of the host GPU.
