tayral edd1ff4529 Restructuring documentation.
A first general restructuration of the doc according to the pattern [tour|tutorial|reference].
In the reference part, objects are documented per topic.
In each topic, [definition|c++|python|hdf5] (not yet implemented)

h5::array_stack: stacking arrays or scalars
================================================================
h5::array_stack writes a sequences of arrays of the same shape (or of scalars) into an hdf5 array with one more dimension, unlimited in the stacking direction.
It is typically used to store a Monte-Carlo data series for later analysis.
* If the base of the stack is an array of rank R, the resulting hdf5 array will be of rank R+1.
* If the base of the stack is a simple number (double, int, ...), R=0.
* The syntax is simple:
* The << operator piles up an array/scalar onto the stack.
* The ++ operator advances by one slice in the stack.
* The () operator returns a view on the current slice of the stack.
* The stack is bufferized in memory (`bufsize` parameter), so that the file access does not happen too often.
* NB: beware to complex numbers ---> REF TO COMPLEX
