Refactor the sidebar to use Django templates
With this change the html for the sidebar is no longer generated by
Melange, instead it's delegated to Django (which is what it does
best anyway). The downside is that it is no longer possible to have
arbitrary deeply nested menu's.

Returns the SVN revision in the form SVN-XXXX,
where XXXX is the revision number.
Returns SVN-unknown if anything goes wrong, such as an unexpected
format of internal SVN files.
If path is provided, it should be a directory whose SVN info you want to
inspect. If it's not provided, this will use the root django/ package
directory.
