Description
Now that the template engine is much more powerful, I think many style developers will start to use template inheritance more and more. The overall_header.html is of course one of the most important.
Would it be a good idea to move the <div class="navbar"> section to a new template file overall_header_navbar.html?
It's gotten pretty big.
Additionally, we could move the footer navbar as well (to overall_footer_navbar), for symmetry (as well as future expansions).

wintstar why would it be not a good idea?
We break nothing, only add more power to styles that want to inherit prosilver, overwrite the header but keep the navbar the same. They currently need to fork the hole overall_header.html, which is now way less code
Still add an additional file. The more files are added, the building of the website will take longer. Even if it may be minimal.
I think that it will be very helpful for 90% of style authors, and the "longer loading" will only affect very big boards. And very big boards generally have the resources to change their templates to optimize them.
I think that this is not a good idea.
