Description

The website should link Documentation to the docs generated for our most recent stable release.

By providing directory listing (using `htaccess Indexes`) under /doc/, and having two symlinks latest and stable, we can by default link to stable.

The following patch

• adds to the website Makefile the task add-stable-doc
• changes the default documentation link to /doc/stable/
• removes the html redirecting from doc/ --> doc/latest/
• adds directory listing to /doc/ for a simple view of versioned docs available
