This commit aims to improve the documentation's navigability by
redefining some categories' purposes and titles.
There is a redirection rule for each documentation page moved.
This ensures that users won't have a 404 error message.

This commit restructures the contributing/documentation page to re-use
content introduced with the contributing/development page and to
display the two ways to contribute (github vs git) in content tabs
rather than sections.
The guide is simplified and updated to delegate long explanations to
other pages or websites, remove useless images and focus on getting
users ready to contribute.

This commit replaces hard-coded occurrences of the version and of the
last, current and next releases' version with placeholders interpolated
at build time to avoid manually updating these after each freeze.

GitHub requires users to "use token-based authentication for all
authenticated operations", for example `git push`. See

This commit suggests new contributors to clone the repository with SSH
so that the remote URL is automatically configured with the SSH
protocol.

Before this commit, the "Developer/Misc" directory of the doc, and
more particularly the "Developer/Misc/Other" sub-directory, was used as
a garbage dump where we moved all the pages that didn't fit elsewhere.
Due to that, interesting and important pages, such as the Coding
Guidelines, were buried in that directory never to be read again by Odoo
developers.
This commit moves most pages under "Misc" one or two levels up to be
located directly under "Developer" hence making them more accessible. A
new "Contributing/Development" directory is added to host the Coding
Guidelines page and soon many other pages.

The `redirects.txt` file used to specify redirect rules for renamed or
moved documentation pages is starting to grow too big to be easily
maintainable. The main reason is that the number of redirect rules that
were thought to be required has been largely underestimated when
implementing the 'redirects' extension. At first, we believed that no
guidelines or structure were necessary because only a small amount of
redirect rules would be specified. This proved wrong and the file is now
becoming a mess, making it increasingly difficult to figure out where,
why, when, and if a redirect rule is specified in the file.
As the file is versioned, another issue emerges: conflicts occur every
time a commit is forward-ported to a later version if that commit adds a
redirect rule at the end of the file or at a line that was changed in
the later version. As redirect rules are frequently added, and since
blocks of redirect rules for new versions are added at the end of the
file, this tends to happen a lot.
This commit attempts to hit two birds with one stone by splitting the
`redirects.txt` file into multiple files, one per version. While doing
so, the existing redirect rules are ordered alphabetically and moved
into contextual blocks. Instructions and guidelines on how to create
redirect rules are also listed in the `redirects/MANUAL.md` file. By
sorting the redirect rules and adding them in different files, the
number of conflicts should decrease by a lot.

The content of the introduction guide is moved to the parent page which
is itself renamed to "Write documentation". The homepage's quick links
are adapted accordingly.
The chance is also taken to move media files in the appropriate folder.

Prior to this commit, the Odoo documentation was mainly split between
two repositories: odoo/odoo/doc and odoo/documentation-user. Some bits
of documentation were also hosted elsewhere (e.g., wiki, upgrade, ...).
This was causing several problems among which:
- The theme, config, Makefile, and similar technical resources had to
be duplicated. This resulted in inconsistent layout, features, and
build environments from one documentation to another.
- Some pages did not fit either documentation as they were relevant
for both users and developers. Some were relevant to neither of the
two (e.g., DB management).
- Cross-doc references had to be absolute links and they broke often.
- Merging large image files in the developer documentation would bloat
the odoo/odoo repository. Some contributions had to be lightened to
avoid merging too many images (e.g., Odoo development tutorials).
- Long-time contributors to the user documentation were chilly about
going through the merging process of the developer documentation
because of the runbot, mergebot, `odoo-dev` repository, etc.
- Some contributors would look for the developer documentation in the
`odoo/documentation-user` repository.
- Community issues about the user documentation were submitted on the
`odoo/odoo` repository and vice-versa.
Merging all documentations in one repository will allow us to have one
place, one theme, one work process, and one set of tools (build
environment, ...) for all of the Odoo docs.
As this is a good opportunity to revamp the layout of the documentation,
a brand new theme replaces the old one. It features a new way to
navigate the documentation, centered on the idea of always letting the
reader know what is the context (enclosing section, child pages, page
structure ...) of the page they are reading. The previous theme would
quickly confuse readers as they navigated the documentation and followed
cross-application links.
The chance is also taken to get rid of all the technical dangling parts,
performance issues, and left-overs. Except for some page-specific JS
scripts, the Odoo theme Sphinx extension is re-written from scratch
based on the latest Sphinx release to benefit from the improvements and
ease future contributions.
