Idris 1 has been (at best) kept from bitrotting for years now, and Idris 2 is much more mature than when it initially launched. This more clearly deprecates Idris 1 on the website, separating out Idris 1 to its own section as far as possible. It also points the Idris 1 docs to the wayback archives, since those are the ones available after the GH-Pages migration.

Fixes #13 #14

Idris 1 is at best being kept from bitrotting, with most people who
work/worked on Idris 1 having shifted their focus to Idris 2 years ago
(there are even rumours of an Idris 3).  As such, this more strongly
suggests people move to Idris 2 and makes it explicit that Idris 1 is no
longer supported.

Fixes idris-lang#13
While `docs.idris-lang.org` somehow still exists, part of what we lost
in the migration to the GH website was the Idris 1 docs.  Edwin also has
no idea where those were.  Fortunately, there is a wayback archive of
them, so we can point people there.  Last I spoke with Edwin, we agreed
that this should be the move anyhow, since he considers Idris 1 firmly
deprecated by now.
