Cadel Watson 7654c2f902 Use Sphinx for documentation.
This commit creates configuration files and an index page for
documentation using Sphinx. The recommonmark package is used to enable
Markdown support for Sphinx, using the Common Mark specification. This
means that the current documentation doesn't need to be rewritten.

Welcome to Sanic's documentation!
=================================
Sanic is a Flask-like Python 3.5+ web server that's written to go fast. It's based on the work done by the amazing folks at magicstack, and was inspired by `this article <https://magic.io/blog/uvloop-blazing-fast-python-networking/>`_.
On top of being Flask-like, Sanic supports async request handlers. This means you can use the new shiny async/await syntax from Python 3.5, making your code non-blocking and speedy.
Sanic is developed `on GitHub <https://github.com/channelcat/sanic/>`_. Contributions are welcome!
Benchmarks
----------
All tests were run on an AWS medium instance running ubuntu, using 1
process. Each script delivered a small JSON response and was tested with
wrk using 100 connections. Pypy was tested for Falcon and Flask but did
not speed up requests.
