Reduce the height of the homepage header. #413

Fixes #394.

This removes the margin from the header to bring more of the content into view. It doesn't completely match the design in the original issue. All those components are not present anymore or at least with the latest post.

Considerations

The "News" isn't completely centered in the top container because the subnav is the same color. That matches newer designs of developer.wordpress.org and documentation. Does that work? I can remove padding from the top of the section to make it even. Looks fine to me though.

All that said, on the 3 most common monitor sizes it looks ok

I agree, seeing only white under the top isn't ideal. I can update to not use padding but instead viewport units.

In terms of the example screenshot, I think we should be showing the first latest post.

Hmm, the brush smear is on the h1. Updating to viewport units is a bigger task than I would have thought. I think I'll merge this as-is, someone can follow up with additional changes.
