Added overview page, designed to list starting points for developers.

Currently lists starting points for the broker. Need similar sections for client, management, etc.

+ * <h2>Starting Points: Broker</h2>
+ *  
+ * <p>Message flow generally starts from the following methods:</p>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><p>qpid::broker::Connection::received() - handles incoming decoded frames from the IO layer</p></li>
+ *   <li><p>qpid::broker::Connection::doOutput() - sends messages to eligible consumers</p></li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>The following classes are useful starting points for
+ * understanding the structure of the broker:</p>
+ *
+ * <p>IO:</p>
+ * <ul><li><p>qpid::sys::Poller</p></li></ul>
+ * 
+ * <p>Broker - per Client</p>
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><p>qpid::broker::Connection</p></li>
+ *   <li><p>qpid::broker::SemanticState</p></li>
+ *   <li><p>qpid::broker::SemanticState::ConsumerImpl</p></li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Broker - shared among all clients</p>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><p>qpid::broker::Queue</p></li>
+ *   <li><p>qpid::broker::Exchange</p></li>
+ *   <li><p>Subclasses of Queue and Exchange</p></li>
+ * </ul>
