Temporary Alert

To add a temporary alert to the developer docs set the temporary_alert configuration value in _config.yml to a string with the desired alert contents, e.g. The sandbox will be unavailable from <b>5:30-6:30p ET on Tuesday, August 9th</b>.. To turn off the alert change the configuration value to false.
