[RFC PATCH] docs: Group arch-specific documentation under "CPU Architectures"

[Jonathan Neuschäfer]

To declutter the top-level table of contents (the side bar), this
patch reduces the architecture-specfic documentation to one top-level
item, "CPU Architectures".

As a side effect, the TOC in index.html effectively gets one level of
detail less. This could be fixed by specifying ':maxdepth: 3'.

I've badly wanted to clean up that page for a long time; this is a step
in that direction, so I'm happy to see it.  Applied, thanks.

And no, we need *less* detail on the front page, not more, so no need to
bring all that back.

Thanks,

jon
