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)

Bound checking and debug macros
===================================
To be fast, by default, no check are made on the indices while accessing elements or slicing.
However, checks can be activated in two ways:
* Adding the `BOUND_CHECK` option
* Defining the debug macro TRIQS_ARRAYS_ENFORCE_BOUNDCHECK, which switches the default option to `BOUND_CHECK`
for all arrays, matrices and vectors.
In both cases, if the indices are not within the domain of defintion, an exception triqs::arrays::key_error
will be thrown. It's .what() returns the file and line where the exception occurs, with the stack of all in C++,
e.g. :
.. triqs_example:: ./debug_0.cpp
.. note:: Bound Checking is not necessarly used for debugging. You may used it for a given array, catching exception.
Beware however that bound checking comes with some performance penalty.
