This patch for
http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-mynewt-site.git will allow
us to use mynewt.apache.org as a vanity import domain.  It redirects the go
build tools to the Apache git repo, and it redirects browsers to /.

Note that this depends on the proposed build.sh script that copies files
from the extras directory into the mkdocs generated site directory.

Thanks,
-Todd
