As a first step toward a deeper refactoring of the reference manual,
we move existing chapters into a new structure.
We use the Sphinx support for top-level chapters spanning multiple
pages to consolidate existing chapters into a smaller number of
chapters and a smaller number of parts.
Now the full top-level table of content can be seen in one glance.
Most of the new chapters are divided into several sub-chapters (on
separate pages) that correspond to the pre-existing chapters. These
new top-level chapters gathering several chapters together have gained
a new introduction. The main introduction has been rewritten /
simplified as well.
For now, the URL of pre-existing chapters does not change. The intent
is to further refactor the manual by splitting some of these
sub-chapters into smaller ones, and by moving things around.
While the sub-chapters are likely to evolve very much in the future,
the top-level table of content is almost final (except that the "Using
Coq" part may gain one or two additional chapters on proof engineering
/ project management).
Thanks to Jim Fehrle for investigating how to split a chapter on
multiple pages and to both Jim and Matthieu Sozeau for the discussion
that led to this new structure.

Additional notes:
- A new directory structure has been created reflecting the new
chapter structure.
- The indexes chapter has been removed from the PDF version since it
wasn't working.
