`run_in_actor()` is slated to become a hilevel wrapper
(`runtime/_supervise.py` "TODO: DEPRECATE THIS"), so the showcase
`we_are_processes.py` shouldn't lead with it. Move it to the modern
API: each `worker_<i>` subactor runs a `@tractor.context`
`endpoint()` that `started()`-hands its name + pid back over
`Portal.open_context()` and parks; the root sleeps then raises on
purpose so the runtime reaps the whole tree (zero zombies).
The subs spawn concurrently from bg `trio.Task`s so each child's
cold `import tractor` (~0.4s, see #470) overlaps instead of
stacking; a comment flags the coming `main_thread_forkserver`
backend (#463) which'll make serial spawns cheap enough to just
loop.
Match the landing prose to the snippet — name the `Context` +
`started()` handshake it now leads with.
Also, document `--watch examples` on the `sphinx-autobuild` cmds so
edits to `literalinclude`-d example scripts (which live outside
`docs/`) live-reload too.

Rework the landing top into a left-anchored hero row and match the
navbar branding to it.
- `index.rst` + new `tractor_hero.html`: an inline-svg hero
(`[logo] distributed structured concurrency`) with a full-width
sub-tagline, plus a single screen-reader-only `<h1>` ("tractor")
so the section headings become proper `<h2>` (was 4x `<h1>`), and
the intro prose reflowed into 3 bullets,
- `conf.py`: a `logo.text` ("tractor") beside the navbar wireframe,
polars-style,
- `custom.css`: the hero-row layout (logo + tagline + sub-line,
single row on desktop / stack on mobile), the navbar brand styled
like the centered nav tabs with `display:inline-block` to kill
the parent link's propagated hover-underline, and smaller landing
section headings w/ their `tl;dr` margin-note pulled level.
The hero linework stays `fill: currentColor` so the whole thing
flips with the light/dark toggle.

Swap the landing-page hero from a static `<img>` (white-faced —
which glared as a light box on the dark theme) to an INLINE svg
whose linework uses `fill: currentColor` and whose faces are
transparent. The wireframe now inherits the theme text colour
(`svg.hero-logo { color: var(--pst-color-text-base); }`) and the
page background shows through, so it flips correctly with the
light/dark toggle.
- `tractor_logo_hero.html`: the inline svg partial (`.st0` ->
`currentColor`, `.st1` -> `none`), `.. raw:: html :file:`-d into
`index.rst`,
- the shared `tractor_logo_side.svg` is untouched here (navbar +
favicon still ride it).

Replace the ancient `docs/index.rst` (still teaching
`tractor.run()`, `@stream` + arbiters..) with a full ~32 page tree
teaching ONLY the current api (`.wait_for_result()`, registrar
naming, `@context` + `open_context()` as the core model),
- landing: hero example, feature cards + canon links,
- `start/`: install + a 4-example quickstart on-ramp,
- `explain/`: an "SC across processes" essay distilling the essence
per #157's orig ask + a runtime architecture tour,
- `guide/`: 12 task-focused pages incl the flagship multi-process
debugging walkthrough, `Context` + `MsgStream` deep-dives,
cancellation semantics (self-vs-cross cancel rules), discovery,
infected `asyncio`, typed msging + the #126 testing-tips page,
- `api/`: 10 curated autodoc pages (all targets import-verified vs
the reorg'd subpkg tree),
- `project/`: changelog include, ported dev-tips (drops old
`docs/dev_tips.rst`) + roadmap.
Every code block is a `literalinclude` from `examples/`
- zero duplication, all CI-run - w/ `d2` figs floated
into the RHS margin per the 3-col design. Build is green; the 24
remaining warnings all source from lib docstring rst-isms or legacy
`NEWS.rst` content.
Substantially resolves#157 (refine round pending); chips at #175 +
#126.

This resolves and completes #69 allowing all RPC invocation APIs to pass
function references directly instead of explicit `str` names for the
target namespace and function (this is still done implicitly
underneath). This brings us closer to `trio`'s task running API as well
as acknowledges that any inter-host RPC system (and API) will likely
need to be implemented on top of local RPC primitives anyway. Even if
this ends up **not** being true we can always go to "function stubs" as
part of our IAC protocol or, add a new method to do explicit namespace
calls: `.run_from_module()` or whatever everyone votes on.
Resolves#69
Further, this commit drops `Actor.statespace` from the entire system
since a user can easily get this same functionality using module
level variables. Fix docs to match all these changes (luckily mostly
already done due to example scripts referencing).
This should address both #98 and #108 by using our now tested examples
scripts directly in the documentation (so we know they must work or CI
will fail).
Resolves#98#108
