Add a note that the js backend is both experimental and unmaintained

[Mai-Lapyst]

Currently, the website lists the javascript part of raku/rakudo as an normal part of the whole language, which leads to outside viewers assuming that it is maintained like the rest of raku/rakudo, while this is clearly not the case in the moment.

It therefore should be added a notice that usage of the javascript backend / rakudo.js is experimental. It might even be of benefit to move the javascript tab from the top of the downloads page to the bottom under a new section "Experimental".

Maybe it also should be discussed if it is to be marked as "unmaintained" as it seems that way as no-one seems to work on it currently, which might be of benefit for an outside viewer to decide if they want to evaluate using rakudo with javascript or not.

I just tried to follow the instructions from the site on setting up rakudo.js, and the npm install fails entirely (might be on a prereq)

I would recommend we remove the link to rakudo.js until it works, and also have https://www.npmjs.com/package/rakudo updated to refer to Raku, not Perl 6. - I was unable to find the source of that npm package.

I can do the rakudo.org changes.

Changes to rakudo.org are done.

@dontlaugh, @andinus It seems that rakudo.org isn't updated. Is there any step I need to perform in addition to pushing to master?

[andinus]

Hi @patrickbkr , yes changes are pulled manually, currently justin does them as part of pushing a release. I should automate this, I'll try to do that sometime soon.

I've updated the website now.
