[desktop] ubuntu-docs branch ready for yakkety

[Hannie Dumoleyn]

I added  the Stable Phone Overlay PPA to my resources, but to no avail. 
System Settings and Browser still do not work in Xenial 16.04.1 Unity 8. 
I could not find 
~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log on my 
desktop. I have attached 2 log files to my bug report [1] instead.
@ Doug: I will try to install 16.10 soon. See if that helps.
