Prior to this commit, users had to either know in advance or guess the
location of the content they were looking for. Top-level pages of the
"Developer" section of the documentation, in particular the "Developer"
page itself, were listing their sub-pages without directions for users.
This commit brings the following changes to improve the navigation:
- add directions for users on the "Developer" page and list the three
main categories of developer documentation ("Tutorials", "How-to
guides", and "Reference") with explanations of their content and
target audience;
- add categories for content cards on the "Tutorials" and "How-to
guides" pages, and fine-tune the toctree of the "Reference" page to
more easily locate specific topics;
- clarify what are the "Python framework" and the "JavaScript framework"
by relabelling them to "Server framework" and "Web framework" on
top-level pages, as some users were confused to find that the JS
framework was not responsible for the server, and others that the
documentation for QWeb template is located in the Python documentation;
- extract the "Setup guide" from the "Getting started" tutorial and
rename the latter to "Server framework 101" to allow reusing the setup
guide in other tutorials and make clear that the "Server framework 101"
tutorial is not about the Web framework.

The JavaScript cheatsheet is outdated, we therefore remove it and
replace it by multiple howtos:
- Create a view from scratch
- Extending an existing view
- Create a field from scratch
- Extend an existing field
- Create a client action
There is other subjects to introduce as the web framework is big. Other
future contributions will cover them.

Add a new content focused on SCSS and user-interface.
- SCSS coding guidelines: regroup information already available (eg [1])
or based on "oral tradition".
The aim is not to establish new rules, ~99% of the current codebase
is already compliant.
- SCSS inheritance: explain how SCSS assets management works in odoo.
For example, people still find confusing that overrides are defined
*before* the variable to customize.
- SCSS optimization tips: suggestions to lean SCSS code. Based on SCSS
optimization task's know-how [2].
- CSS variables: explain how this feature is commonly used in odoo to
adapt layout & design without raw CSS overrides.
- UI Icons: Add link to fontAwesome4 library . Replace the picture of
odoo icons with the actual font (90kb image VS 15Kb font)

This adds a simple documentation for the editor's Powerbox and creates
the base for the editor's own documentation in general.

It was confusing to label the directory for pages related to the Python
framework "Backend" as, in Odoo, the backend is the web client, and the
frontend is the portal/website. It also led to the "Standard modules"
directory to be placed within the "Backend" directory as of `saas-15.1`
to indicate that they were part of the backend too, but that was a
mistake. Indeed, most standard modules comprise JavaScript methods, and
we could want to document these in the reference at some point.

This commit is a move, but the content was also slightly
updated/reformatted.

Now that the reference is split into backend/frontend, it makes more
sense to have the assets page into the frontend section.

The terminology did not really make sense for a lot of these sub pages.
This change should have been done long ago, but was probably delayed
because some people in Odoo call the web client the "backend", which is
really misleading.
This commit also renames the title "Reference Guides" to "Reference",
since this section does not contain any guides anyway.
