Colorize API stabilitity index headers in docs

Noted in @shtylman's #3898, API stability notes are easy to overlook
in the html documentation. This can be especially troublesome if the API
is deprecated. This commit gives visual feedback by adding in a class
to the html docs when they're generated. The API headers with
corresponding colors are also listed in the 'About this Documentation'
page for easy reference.
