Better sphinx theme

[Martin Pool]

Wow, that looks very nice.  I especially like the clearer navigation down
through the top two bars.

I wonder if we should have 'Bazaar Home' for clarity; more generally whether
this will raise some risk of people thinking they're looking at the Ubuntu
site.  I think the association as a Canonical project is fine, but
navigation should be clear.  We still sometimes get people posting bzr
questions looking for Ubuntu help...

I guess this will get rid of the typical sphinx side bar navigation?  That
is probably ok.  Perhaps it should go into a third navigation ribbon?

There is a lot of white space and a lot of variation in font size.  It's
quite a strong effect.  But it's quite readable.

I guess you've seen and are working from <
http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/guides-for-websites/>.  It looks
pretty close.  I think we should skew a bit towards the 'server and cloud'
themes because like them, Bazaar is a bit of a technical tool, though still
valuing approachability and friendliness.

I see <http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/brand-communication-guide/>
has a concept for this; I think our sliders are

Voice:   Community  <---*-------------------> Commercial
Audience: Consumer  <---------------*-------> Enterprise
Developer: End-user <--------------------*--> Engineer

I really like the approach of our design group and I'm so thrilled we can
build on it.   Are you already in touch with someone there? Maybe they'd
like to review it too?
