Add timeline of current and next round on the home page of Outreachy #120

Hi,

Thanks for working on the new website. I was just wondring if it would be possible to add timeline of the current and next both rounds on the home page or apply page of Outreachy? Currently half of the timeline is on the community page (https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/) and other half [internship dates] is on eligibility page[https://www.outreachy.org/apply/eligibility/] for the next round which makes it difficult for anyone to get an idea about which phase of the next round is going on and also have chances to miss out on information. As this is one of the basic information a person needs to know as a prospective applicant/coordinator/mentor, I think it would be useful to add this on the apply page.

The timeline will get pushed to the apply/eligibility and apply/project-selectin pages today. We'd have to move the home page from being a wagtail page to being a Django page in order to list the round dates on the home page. It's something I'll think about, and thanks for the suggestion!

Also, based on how our code is set up, we can't add the next round dates until the current round's internship period starts. We also don't really know about the dates (especially for the round that aligns with Google Summer of Code) until much closer to the round. So the timeline on the homepage reflects that uncertainty.
