ZEPPELIN-6200 Update docs URL to /docs/latest
What is this PR for?
The current official documentation link is set as:
http://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/{{zeppelinVersion}}/index.html
However, the current version is 0.12.0-SNAPSHOT, which is still under development and not an official release. As a result, the documentation link for this version is not available.
Since we only need to provide a link to the latest stable release, how about updating the link to:
http://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/latest/index.html
This would ensure users are always directed to the latest available documentation.

Thanks for the update!
I just wanted to check something. As far as I know, the zeppelinVersion is replaced with the actual version number during the release process, so it ends up pointing to the correct version-specific documentation.
If we change the link to always point to latest documentation page, I'm a bit concerned that users of older Zeppelin versions might get redirected to a newer version' documentation, which could be different from what they're using.
I'm not completely sure, so just raising the point. @jongyoul Curious to hear your thoughts too.
How about a compromise: we keep using {{zeppelinVersion}} for released versions to ensure users get version-specific documentation, but fall back to latest only when the version is a SNAPSHOT?
