This patch adds developer documentation in the docs/ directory. The documentation is written using sphinx. We also include an npm command to build the documentation (ie npm run docs). Closes-bug: 1651106 Change-Id: Ifcce40e1727ddb5eb7cac8586cb41d6f2a3e78d0

Overview
There are four major tools that we use to develop the TripleO UI:
- React
- Redux
- Babel
- Webpack
React
React is the presentation layer.

Redux
Redux is the data layer. It's responsible for managing the state of the application. If you want to change a piece of data in the application, you need to go through Redux. Most of the Redux code is contained in Action and Reducer files.

Babel
Babel is a translation layer that allows us to write code using recent Javascript features without having to worry about browser compatibility. We can write code in es6, and Babel will compile this to standard Javascript.

Webpack
Webpack is our build tool. Webpack uses Babel to actually produce a minified Javascript file that can be used in production. Webpack gives us a development server which watches for file changes, and automatically recompiles our code.
