Refactor various site views into more generic locations, in preparation for
using access permissions to decide the fuctionality in the view, instead of
having lots of cut-and-paste copies of the same view functions.
site/home.py into more generic home.py
site/settings.py into more generic settings.py
site/docs/list.py into more generic docs/list.py
site/docs/edit.py into more generic docs/edit.py
