Default index pages

[nginx-jack]

Adds basic card with title and description, for index pages with no custom content.
In most cases, the only way to get these pages on mainframe is by clicking on the breadcrumb.
There are some links still going to these pages, so it's safer to having something nicer until we can remove them completely.

I wouldn't call these landing pages, 'cause that's interchangeably confusing with actual landing pages at the top of the documentation sets, for which there is a discrete Hugo template and archetype.

This is an index page. All landing pages are indexes, but this could be more precisely described as a nested index page.

Both are examples of transition pages in information architecture taxonomy.

Makes sense! I'll update the comment in the code, and describe as an index page.

I agree with Alan that they should be distinct from the customized landing pages. Let’s add a subheading to index pages that says something like: “In this section” to gently suggest that it’s autogenerated.

I also think we should stack the cards vertically. So that we don’t get mismatched white space across rows. Keep them half-width though.

Do the contribution links at the bottom of the page always lead somewhere useful on autogenerated landing pages? And no Qualtrics on this page right?

Will make those changes - the contribution links will lead to the _index.md file of that section. So if they want to customise the section, it's exactly where they'd want to go 👍 . *and I'll make sure qualtrics isn't here
