Proton wiki pages and diagrams

I've created a Proton page on Confluence [1] and moved all existing Proton
pages underneath it.

One of these is a Proton Testing page [2], which contains a diagram
illustrating the Python, proton-c, proton-j and JNI layers involved.

I used the Gliffy Confluence plugin to draw the diagram.  As we lack a
common, platform neutral drawing package I quite like the Gliffy approach.
I'd be interested to hear views on this, and on the content of these wiki
pages.

Wow, it's been a long time since I worked on a software diagram that was
edited by multiple people :)

With classic desktop tools like MS Visio, I find that diagrams tend to be
"owned" by specific individuals. I'm hopeful that the Gliffy diagrams will,
to a greater extent, reside in the commons.

I updated the testing diagram to include the python and C code that swig
generates. This was mostly just as an excuse to play with the tool. I
haven't used it before, but so far it seems promising. I think we could
definitely benefit from using it more.
