Increase visibility for Bitcoin Core by
recommending it in other wallets' disclaimers as a full node and deterministic build app
making it always the first desktop wallet displayed
better promoting it as a good secure / zero-trust wallet
Prepare layout for hardware wallets
Prevent confusing duplicate listing
Allow layout to scale with increasing number of wallets
Fix layout issues with translations and hyphenation
Simplify the process of adding new wallets by storing information in a single location using a consistent format
Thanks @harding for reviews and feedback on the first draft
* Remove the QR Code error corrections subsection.
* Remove the non-example Payment Protocol text from developer examples.
* Update reference links and autocrossrefs to reflect above deletions
* Fix CSS padding problems reported by @saivann
* Remove all HTML comments from autocrossref text to allow easy checking
for broken link definitions: find _site -name '*.html' | xargs grep '\]\['
* Add PNG versions of guide and example SVG icons. (optipng run)
Validate returned data from GitHub API
htmlescape data on the HTML page
Drop unnecessary yaml dependency
Add more comments in the code
Add more aliases in _config.yml
Fix vertical-align style
* Add new Developer Examples page
* Add a transaction tutorial describing in detail how to make various
different transactions.
* Add a new "multicode" CSS class to allow combination of consecutive
code blocks into a single code block. This lets us use pygments
highlighting for multiple different types of code within the same
aparent block of code.
* Get autocrossref to ignore code blocks so we don't need to endcrossref
every time we encounter a code block. This makes the source much more
readable and maintainable.
Thanks also (in alphabetical order) to @cbeams, @mikehearn, and
@tgeller, among others.

It took me a minute to understand why blockchain.info's icon was on the "choose your wallet" page twice, and I also remember wondering whether it'd be clear to users that some downloads are not desktop applications. I only understood once I saw the text above the icons.
Since many people don't read the all the text on a page (especially a page leading to downloads, and I came here looking for the bitcoin-qt download), I think this visual hint, separating the different client types with a gray line, makes it clearer that there is not only the choice of which wallet to use but also different types of wallets.

I'm not that experienced with Github and how appropriate it is to do pull requests for such a small change, but I think it will help users so I'd like to contribute the change anyway. Thanks!
