Subject: [PATCH] layouts/partials/sidebar.html: Check before using sidebar
 params

If the user's config doesn't have [params.sidebar] defined they get
errors when trying to build the site. It's better if we just check
that this config block is defined before trying to use it, and then
add something to the docs telling people that the site looks really
bad without this defined.
