Austin Clark f3848085e1 Restructure Stackviz docs
This patch changes the format of Stackviz docs so that all information
is stored in the appropriate doc/source/ directory rather than all
in README.rst. README.rst now just uses the RST include directive to
get its text from doc/source/readme.rst. Usage and installation are
now in their own RST files for increased modularity, and are included
in doc/source/readme.rst.

Additional developer documentation has also been created at
doc/source/man/ and includes more information on stackviz-export
as well as the AngularJS front-end.

Usage
========
Usage - Development
-------------------
A development server can be run as follows::
gulp dev
This will open a web browser and reload code automatically as it changes on the
filesystem.
If you have subunit and dstat logs, you can create a config.json to display
your runs::
stackviz-export -f <path/to/subunit> --dstat <path/to/dstat> app/data/
During :code:`gulp dev`, files written to :code:`app/data/` will be
automatically synchronized with the browser. Note that these files will *not* be
copied to :code:`build/` during :code:`gulp prod`, but you can copy them
manually using :code:`gulp data`.
Usage - Production
------------------
The production application can be build using::
gulp prod
The result will be written to :code:`./build` and should be appropriate for
distribution. Note that all files are not required:
- Directory structure (:code:`js/`, :code:`css/`, :code:`fonts/`,
:code:`images/`): required.
- Static resources (:code:`fonts/`, :code:`images/`): required.
- Core files (:code:`index.html`, :code:`js/main.js`, :code:`css/main.css`):
required unless gzipped versions are used.
- Gzipped versions of core files (:code:`*.gz`): not required, but preferred.
Use instead of plain core files to save on disk usage and bandwidth.
- Source maps (:code:`js/main.js.map`, :code:`js/main.js.map.gz`): only required
for debugging purposes.
Data should be written to :code:`build/data/` using :code:`stackviz-export` like
above. Note that the static production code generated above is portable, and can
be generated anywhere and copied to another host to be combined with exported
data.
