Curate User Guide menubar: drop icons and GH entry

[chalin]

From a view with a medium width, this is what the menubar can look like:

It is way too busy IMHO and the wrapping of menu titles (especially since they have icons), looks bad.

Given that we'll be adding a blog soon (#935), I'd propose that free up some menubar real estate by doing the following:

• Drop the GitHub menu. This is redundant since the same link is in the footer.
• Drop the menu icons.
• Give the Documentation entry a linkTitle of Docs
• Maybe give the Example Site entry a linkTitle of Example

The icons are optional so we can easily remove them (once we make sure that the docs still let users know they exist if they want to enable them for their own sites), I agree it looks very busy with everything enabled.

My only concern about removing the Github link "because it's in the footer" is that a lot of readers don't get as far as seeing the footer, especially with long pages. Though looking at other sites (eg K8s and gRPC) they don't all have a GitHub link in the header so we could probably lose it.

I'm reluctant to shorten the linkTitles just for smaller screens - in particular I think we should be clear that this is a special Example Site rather than, eg, a link to our Examples page.

Yes, it's in the docs -- see Adding icons to the top-level menu.

👍

Ok, I'll wait for that.
