This PR: - reorganizes all documentation pages so they live in the right category - removes lots of legacy docs - contains many improvements to active documentation pages Geth user documentation is now spread across five major categories: - Install and Build: installation and compile instructions - Using Geth: this is for pages about general geth usage. - For dApp Developers: this is for programming guides and functionality specific to dapp development. All the dev guides for mobile framework and Go APIs live here. - JSON-RPC APIs: this has its own section because there is now a sub-page for every name space. I have also added an overview text that explains how to set up the API servers. - For Geth Developers: this is for geth contributors

| Sending ether |
The basic way of sending a simple transaction of ether with the console is as follows:
> eth.sendTransaction({from:sender, to:receiver, value: amount})
Using the built-in JavaScript, you can easily set variables to hold these values. For example:
> var sender = eth.accounts[0];
> var receiver = eth.accounts[1];
> var amount = web3.toWei(0.01, "ether")
Alternatively, you can compose a transaction in a single line with:
> eth.sendTransaction({from:eth.coinbase, to:eth.accounts[1], value: web3.toWei(0.05, "ether")})
