Emilio Coppola 2fa65521ee Complete website rewrite
This PR replaces the current CMS website with a static version of it built using Jekyll.

- Everything should be working 1 to 1 with the same permalinks except for the `/news` page (not articles) which was renamed as `/blog` (old links will redirect to new ones).
- The showcase entries on the home page now redirect to their showcase page in our site so that the user can choose which store front or page to visit next.
- I also changed the first link from the nav bar to go to the showcase page since the features one is still pretty outdated.

<p>
Patreon is a platform for creators to crowdfund their work via monthly donations. Godot&nbsp;Engine launched a <a
href="https://www.patreon.com/godotengine">Patreon page</a> with the aim to collect enough money each month to
hire
some of its developers part-time or full-time, starting with its lead developer Juan Linietsky

The Patreon donations are processed by Conservancy, which then uses them to hire developers based on contracts made
transparent to all supporters.
