Introduce support for version 3.0 in our documents
From the GDP point-of-view, the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license also fully matches the projects' principles. The original choice for
2.5 was because it was, at that time, the latest version. With the Gentoo wiki now using CC-BY-SA 3.0, we now also support
this version, allowing for documents to be replicated between the two sources.
