The third and fourth parameters in display.rect() and display.fill_rect()
are not x,y coordinates, but are instead width,height values. Update the
comment after the example to show the correct x,y coordinates of the bottom
right corner of each rectangle, respectively.
Anywhere a module is mentioned, use its "non-u" name for consistency.
The "import module" vs "import umodule" is something of a FAQ, and this
commit intends to help clear that up. As a first approximation MicroPython
is Python, and so imports should work the same as Python and use the same
name, to a first approximation. The u-version of a module is a detail that
can be learned later on, when the user wants to understand more and have
finer control over importing.
Existing Python code should just work, as much as it is possible to do that
within the constraints of embedded systems, and the MicroPython
documentation should match the idiomatic way to write Python code.
With universal weak links for modules (via MICROPY_MODULE_WEAK_LINKS) users
can consistently use "import foo" across all ports (with the exception of
the minimal ports). And the ability to override/extend via "foo.py"
continues to work well.

For some boards, even -fm dio is too fast and they require -fm dout. This
commit links to the esptool wiki about available flash modes and changes
dio to dout.
This adds to the ESP8266 tutorial instructions explaining which pins to
pull low to enter programming mode.

This patch adds quickref documentation for the change in commit
afd0701bf7. This commit added the ability to
disable the REPL and hence use UART0 for serial communication on the
esp8266, but was not previously documented anywhere.
The text is largely taken from the commit message, with generic information
on using the UART duplicated from the Wipy quickref document.
Show how to send an HTTP response code and content-type. Without the
response code Safari/iOS will fail. Without the content-type Lynx/Links
will fail.
With this commit there is now only one entry point into the whole
documentation, which describes the general MicroPython language, and then
from there there are links to information about specific platforms/ports.
This commit doesn't change content (almost, it does fix a few internal
links), it just reorganises things.
