Make the OT registry more accessible on the opentracing.io landing page

An application developer should care about OpenTracing because it saves them time and energy when connecting the dots between their software dependencies and their Tracer / tracing system.

The new OT registry (:clap: :clap: :clap:, thank you @austinlparker!) is both a valuable tool for the application developer above, and also a nice way to "show rather than tell" about OpenTracing's purpose in the ecosystem. As such, I was thinking that we may want to make it more prominent in the design for opentracing.io per se. Right now we have registry-like elements below the hero area:

"I Am Not A Designer" so I don't want to be too prescriptive, but I'm curious what others think about adding some basic stats from the registry (e.g., "Search X instrumented packages in Y languages with support from Z tracing systems and vendors") above a fully-functional registry search bar, perhaps as well as a link to the registry landing page.

Thoughts?

Maybe take inspiration from this home page :-)
