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)

swap & deep_swap
==================================
There are two possible interpretation of "swapping two arrays":
either use 3 moves like std::swap, i.e. swapping the pointer to the data in memory,
or making a deep swap, i.e. really swapping all the elements in memeory.
.. _arr_swap:
swap
--------
* swap just exchange the (shared) pointer to the data in memory,
it does not affect the data them self.
This distinction of importance for views in particular.
* For the regular type, std::swap and swap are equivalent.
For the views, std::swap is explicitely deleted, since it is incorrect
due to the lack of move constructor for a view.
Use `swap` instead.
* **Example** :
.. triqs_example:: ./swap_0.cpp
.. _arr_deep_swap:
deep_swap
--------------
.. warning::
Currently implemented only for triqs::vector and triqs::vector_view.
* deep_swap swaps the data in memory.
* **Example** (compare with swap) :
.. triqs_example:: ./swap_1.cpp
