This is basically
https://github.com/apache/incubator-pekko-site/pull/4 - a few pages
needed to tie the existing pages that we can generate for the project
docs together.

* A home page - a bit like https://spark.apache.org/
* possibly a separate page linking to the the various module docs -
something a bit like https://akka.io/docs/
* a download page (for the source releases and probably to provide
some sample sbt and maven scripting for getting jars from Maven
Central) - something like
https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/download.html

I would strongly favour continuing with
https://github.com/apache/incubator-pekko-site/pull/4. Many of us are
used to Paradox. We get the same look and feel as the rest of our
pre-existing Paradox generated docs - like the ones visible at
https://pekko.apache.org at the moment.
