Update site look and add pages for Streaming and MLlib
This monster commit does a variety of things:
- Update the site look and feel to be cleaner
- Add top-level points to front page
- Add a listing of related projects, and pages for those included in Spark
- Reorganize docs and community pages
- Make sure the site scales properly on mobile devices
- Add tabs to let users view the examples in any programming language
It's just a start, but should be a step towards a better web presence.
