Update index.html page.
This allows for multiple versions of the matplotlib documentation to be made available. The scheme is that the root documentation (i.e. http://matplotlib.sf.net/) will always be the latest stable version. Other versions of the documentation will be available in subdirectories off of the root (the latest stable version is merely a symlink or redirect back to the root). This is the same convention used by "docs.python.org", as an aside. The index.html page uses some JavaScript to load a little snippet of HTML from "/versions.html" that lists the available versions. "versions.html" is not part of this repository, but is part of the matplotlib.github.com repository and is updated by hand whenever new versions are added or removed from the archive. This approach allows all versions of the documentation to point to all other versions of the documentation. This JavaScript XMLHttpRequest magic doesn't happen when the user is viewing static files on their local machine, and this is a happy coincidence. The perhaps controversial outcome of this change is that the summary list of plotting commands is removed from the front page. For one, we want to steer people toward the version of the documentation that corresponds to the version they are running. Also, this was a manually created list, and has become quite out of date over time. Better, IMHO, to link to the pyplot documentation. This freed up room to move much of the content that existed in the sidebar to the main body, where I feel it's much less buried. I plan to add a lot more external resources and links, so having the room to do this would be very helpful. Adds a "Fork me on Github" banner.
