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.

While doing the changes on the text-dark issue, we noticed the
homepage's text color isn't aligned with the rest of the website.
`.text-muted` was too light, so we changed it to `.text-dark`.

Instead of redefining font-weights, we override the BS variables and add
one extra font-weight in the newly-introduced extended utilities file.
After this change all the variables needed replacing and some tweaking
was needed to get the same or closely similar result as before this
change.
By doing so the font-weight classes in the typography file were obsolete
and hence removed.
Some other font-weight issues which were already there have been fixed
in this commit too.
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 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.

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.

According to the app-store guidelines we are not allowed to sell from
the iOS app.
Our updates are currently blocked because of this.
In the rush, we have no choice but to hide "Try Odoo for FREE" buttons
that redirects the customer to the subscription page.
This is unfortunately not allowed by Apple who consider this
as "In-App Purchase".
Note that in the old documentation (https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user),
this button was located in the header which was hidden in the app
(see related PR).

# If you feel that it might help a future reader to understand your commit
# motivations, take some time to explain WHY you made these changes in a few
# sentences. The WHAT is usually easily understood by reading the diff.
#
# Short description tip: structure your commit message as if it was completing
# this sentence: "If merged, this commit will ...". For instance, the following
# commit message is correct: "[IMP] sales: compress images to save space".
#
# Tag meanings:
#
# [ADD] = New content
# [IMP] = Improvement
# [FIX] = Content or RST fix
# [REM] = Removal
# [REF] = Refactoring (restructuring)
# [MOV] = Move/rename

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.
