Title: Wijmoize

A first draft at removing the left panel and adding a menu driven UI. This is based on Wijmo, which is an open source set of jQueryUI widgets. This has dramatically simplified the UI, I think in a good way. There will be lots more changes before this is merged, but I want to get this into peoples hands sooner rather than later. Some things we are working on:

* The config related things that were in the left panel have been removed. They will be reintroduced in a later PR. However the kernel killing will be added to the kernel menu in this PR.
* We are working on getting the menus to open on click rather than mouseover.
* The Save/Rename logic will be further improved.
* The speed of the menu flyout animation will be reduced for a snappier feel.
* We will add a per cell context menu for cell related actions.
* Possibly add a button bar below the menu bar?
* Add margins on the left side of the page. @minrk and I thought they should not be too large though.

Please play with this and provide feedback. Cheers.
