MkDocs files

Use the following /docs directory and mkdocs.yml for new documentation files. 

AWSIM
├─ docs/                // markdown and image file for each document.
└─ mkdocs.yml           // mkdocs config.
Create one directory per document. For example, the directory structure of this "Documentation" page might look like this. 
AWSIM
└─ docs/                            // Root of all documents
    └─ DeveloperGuide               // Category
        └─ Documentation            // Root of each document
            ├─ index.md             // Markdown file
            └─ image_0.png          // Images used in markdown file
