Add an article explaining how simple layouts are done for web devs #124

I know we have this article, but it doesn't show you how a basic layout is done and it is hard for web dev to get started with our layout system. We should start with simple scenarios and show the analogies.

Copied from original issue: NativeScript/NativeScript#212

The layout tutorial in the online AppBuilder is actually quite good - maybe reuse that?

Yes, definitely. We should also add content about how to convert HTML layout to {N}.

I think it's quite tricky to move from a hybrid mobile 'mindset' to a {N} mindset, especially if you are creating an image-heavy app where you need content scaling to behave itself. I like the idea of showing use cases for each layout (why would you use a grid? a stack? why combine them? why use a wrap layout? who needs absolute?) and giving copy/pasteable code for each to onboard folks more easily.

Adding the up-for-grabs label. I’d love to see someone add a section on this to the existing Layouts page at http://docs.nativescript.org/ui/layouts.html.
