* docs: drop h1 in headerErik Faye-Lund2019-05-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | It's generally frowned upon to have more than one H1 per document in HTML4. So let's put the text directly inside the header. This means we can drop the flex-based centering, which makes things a bit easier. We also need to change the padding to rem instead of em, because the em has now changed.

* docs: renumber headingsErik Faye-Lund2019-05-081-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | It's generally frowned upon to have multiple H1 headings in HTML4. So let's make sure each article has a primary heading for the article, and that that heading is the title that is used in the sidebar. While we're at it, let's update the title in the articles to match the title from the sidebar as well.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have extra (somewhat questionable) modularity, such that one could build some parts with LLVM while others w/o. That is extremely fragile, error prone and requires quite noticable amount of code throughout. Thus lets deprecate the gallium toggle in faviour of the generic one. The former will throw a warning when set, and it will be overwritten by the latter. This will allow gradual transition w/o breaking people's scripts. v2: Rebase, document in release notes.
