Documentation overhaul

Registered by Baron Schwartz

The docs need an overall refresh and update to make them professional and well written, and to bring them into the modern age; some were written in the mysql 5.0 days, it seems.

1. Remove the LICENSE stuff from the HTML docs; it doesn't need to be repeated. Add a LICENSE HTML doc page.

2. Change code blocks to SQL highlighting if the first word is all-uppercase.

3. Add custom CSS for <blockquote> elements, such as those in pt-deadlock-logger's HTML docs.

4. Don't make |MySQL| a special word.

5. Don't global search-replace the toolname with ref links; see the code block in --sample in pt-query-digest's documentation.

6. Why do some tools, like pt-mext, look like the cmdline options are a table?

7. The configuration_files.html formatting is ugly.

8. Remove code blocks that are just serving as lazy man's bullet lists.

Whiteboard

Baron has a local branch with a lot of improvements on this point. But it is too risky to release without a full set of testing.
