Josh Archer eaabecf586 docs: Adds 'Using _index.md' page
There has been confusion regarding the use of _index.md pages following
the shift to 'Everything is a Page' in Hugo v0.18:

https://discuss.gohugo.io/t/hugo-0-18-ignores-index-md-in-the-section/4896

This has lead to attempts at clarification:

https://discuss.gohugo.io/t/-index-md-pages-in-section-taxonomies-etc-are-not-rendered-using-single-html-template/5466

There is also an open issue regarding improving the docs on this topic:

https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/2827

This commit adds a dedicated page explaining how _index.md files fit
into Hugo's template hierarchy, what they can contain and how to render
content from them onto the respective list/terms/home page.

What this commit doesn't do is address confusion over former behaviour
of the 'index.md' files (note the lack of _). Instead it focuses on
clarifying the new behaviour in the hope of rendering the old moot.

Fixes #2827

Some things are better shown than explained. The following is a very basic example of a content file written in Markdown:

mysite/content/project/nitro.md → http://mysite.com/project/nitro.html

With TOML front matter:

+++
date        = "2013-06-21T11:27:27-04:00"
title       = "Nitro: A quick and simple profiler for Go"
description = "Nitro is a simple profiler for your Golang applications"
tags        = [ "Development", "Go", "profiling" ]
topics      = [ "Development", "Go" ]
slug        = "nitro"
project_url = "https://github.com/spf13/nitro"

# Nitro

Quick and easy performance analyzer library for [Go](http://golang.org/).

## Overview

Nitro is a quick and easy performance analyzer library for Go.
It is useful for comparing A/B against different drafts of functions
or different functions.

## Implementing Nitro

Using Nitro is simple. First, use `go get` to install the latest version
of the library.

    $ go get github.com/spf13/nitro

Next, include nitro in your application.

You may also use the equivalent YAML front matter:

---
lastmod: 2015-12-23
date:        "2013-06-21T11:27:27-04:00"
title:       "Nitro: A quick and simple profiler for Go"
description: "Nitro is a simple profiler for your Go lang applications"
tags:        [ "Development", "Go", "profiling" ]
topics:      [ "Development", "Go" ]
slug:        "nitro"
project_url: "https://github.com/spf13/nitro"
---

nitro.md would be rendered as follows:
