tweaks to default pkgdown site layout?

[kevinushey]

These are obviously subjective, so please feel free to discard these if you think they're not really an improvement or not worth doing.

Using pkgdown's own page as an example...

• The alignment of the package name + package version could be improved. (I would prefer to see the package name + version vertically aligned.)
• The navbar list items could use some extra padding, and spacing away from the package name + version.
• The vignette text could be separated a little bit more from the vignette title header.

For example:

Obviously users could make these changes themselves, but IMHO these changes might be worth considering for the default layout.

I'll take a look — the main challenges are making the default appearance look better without harming the ability to customise as needed and my css skills.

1. Looks like align-items: baseline; will do it
2. Change ms-2 to ms-3 to increase the gap between version and section titles. Could add class="me-1" to each li.list-item in HTML or gap: 0.25rem to .navbar-nav in CSS, but it doesn't feel that cramped to me and horizontal space is at a premium in the navbar (especially when folks at extra items), so unless you feel strongly, I'd prefer to leave as is. (You can pretty easily customise for your own site with pkgdown/extra.scss if needed).
3. I don't find this too offensive currently — I don't really like how bootstrap does margins for headings, but it's hard to pull on one thread without having to tweak everything, which then makes it harder to customise. You might prefer the styling of https://tidytemplate.tidyverse.org/articles/headings.html.
