Twenty Twelve: change homepage widget areas to use columns or multiple areas instead of one big area

Description

The resulting layout using the homepage template widget area with a TON of widgets is pretty terrible.

Screenshot attached.

It's been suggested before (can't find the reference now) to use 2 or 3 columns instead, so they widgets line up better and users have more control over the layout.

Easiest way to do this is to split it into two widget areas.

21619.diff uses the same basic logic as Twenty Eleven does, but since we're only dealing with two widget areas it's a bit simpler.

Thanks obenland, I'll take a look soon -- probably Monday -- and test it out.
