Nick Fagerlund 2c02233a16 website: Add new "glue"/overview pages for CLI and language docs
The new nav structure demanded a few new pages that give context about a feature
or workflow. In a few cases, they take text from an existing page.

# Variables and Outputs
The Terraform language includes a few kinds of blocks for requesting or
publishing named values.
- [Input Variables](/docs/configuration/variables.html) serve as parameters for
a Terraform module, so users can customize behavior without editing the source.
- [Output Values](/docs/configuration/outputs.html) are like return values for a
Terraform module.
- [Local Values](/docs/configuration/locals.html) are a convenience feature for
assigning a short name to an expression.
