Add section on tools on landing page #268

Two important tools around preCICE have reached a certain level of maturity such that we should advertise them more prominently. They might attract new user communities:

We could add a dedicated section on such tools on the landing page, maybe between "adapters" and "what our community is saying". With short explanations on what users can do with these tools:

Each tool could become a card with a visual (with a similar style as the features on the landing page), such that we could also extend this list in the future.

Links should go to dedicated pages under docs/tooling (WIP for both tools).

I am not sure whether to add more of our tools here (config visualizer, ASTE, ...). These are hard to understand without knowing preCICE already.

Actually, why not simply extend the "features" section? Considering these tools as part of the preCICE ecosystem, these are features of what the user sees as "preCICE".

As we need more and more sections on the landing page, I am trying to think of ways to reduce their number, to not make the page too long.

Could be an alternative, yes.
