Clients page is outdated

[faraggi]

The page https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Clients,-tools,-dapp-browsers,-wallets-and-other-projects is outdated and is an important landing page because its the top result in Google when searching for ethereum clients.

Here is a proposal for the page:

#### Contents
- [Ethereum Clients](#/ethereum-clients)
- [Other projects, tools, etc.](#/other-projects-tools-etc)

## Ethereum Clients

*   [Casper Proof-of-Stake](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Casper-Proof-of-Stake-compendium)
*   [smart contract languages](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/%C3%90App-Development):
    *   Solidity: [repo](https://github.com/ethereum/solidity), join the chat at [https://gitter.im/ethereum/solidity](https://gitter.im/ethereum/solidity), [docs](https://solidity.readthedocs.org/en/latest/), see the above link for more resources.

Note that as of 31 May 2018, Mist isn't really user-ready yet, so until it has a stable release, using alternatives like [MyCrypto](https://www.mycrypto.com/) or [MyEtherWallet](https://www.myetherwallet.com/) is recommended instead, unless you're happy to be a beta tester.
