Fetching home page data from the cms.

@r-czajkowski I think this will work for us 👍 good job. Looks like we have the text content in /src/pages/index.md. Does this automatically map to the HomePageTemplate? How do you expect to organize the markdown files when more pages are added?

Here is the magic https://github.com/threshold-network/splash-page/blob/gatsby/gatsby-node.ts#L42-L52. In the cms config we need to add a special hidden field: template.

So to add a new page you have to:

create a md file in src/pages
add cms config in static/admin/config.yaml to define fields something like here https://github.com/threshold-network/splash-page/blob/gatsby/static/admin/config.yml#L31-L101,
create a new page template in src/templates and the name of this file should be the same as is in the template field and query the data from the cms eg. https://github.com/threshold-network/splash-page/blob/gatsby/src/templates/home-page.tsx#L124-L174

If your md file is eg. faq then the page will be available under localhost:8000/faq.
