In many places in the docs, we need to document several flows that
differ only by a few details. For example, the steps to install Odoo
from the sources are almost identical for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
In other places, we'd want to suggest a command in different
environments or programming languages, etc.
This commit thus adds an extension for content tabs (tabs within the
content) to help reduce content repetition in the documentation. As a
proof of concept, the "Packaged installers" and "Source install"
sections of the "Installing Odoo" page are reworked to present their
content within tabs whenever it helps clarify the instructions.
A new python dependency is added as of this commit: `sphinx-tabs`

This commit changes the way that Odoo python dependencies should be
installed.
Before this commit, the described way to install Odoo dependencies was
by using the `pip` utility.
Now, we explicitly recommend to use a Debian based system and install
Odoo dependencies from their packaging tool.
The main reasons are:
* Odoo productions instances are, most of the time, run on Debian based
systems with those package already installed
* That way, a developer cannot mistakenly use a feature from a
dependency that does not exists on those production environments
* Avoid mixes of python packages on the developer/user 's system

Requesting a dump from the customers comming from the PaaS is useless
(since support has access to the odoo.sh projects) and counter
productive (since it only makes the migration outage longer while the
customer downloads the file, then uploads it, then we download it,
instead of just the support downloading it)

As of commit https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/794677fb Python 3.7 is
the minimum required version for Python when running Odoo 15.0.
This also applies to building the version 15.0 of the documentation.

The indentation of the provided default nginx config wasn't consistent.
This commit enforces the indentation of two spaces for the nginx config.
Also cleans a bit the .rst useless empty lines.
When searching for a string that can be found in a TOC page's content,
that page is listed in the search results. This is not a wanted behavior
because TOC pages without the 'show-content' metadata directive are not
supposed to be accessible.
This commit adds a 'nosearch' metadata directive to all TOC pages
without a 'show-content' metadata directive, hence removing them from
search results.

This commit is part of a larger work to improve the documentation's
structure. The toctree structure used to add levels to create categories
and make the structure visually more understandable.
With the new version of the documentation, plenty of these categories
are now redundant.
This commit:
- removes the main "settings" section
- move its content to general/odoo_basics
- moves "general/mobile" content to "general"
- moves the content of the doc "developer_mode/activate" to "general"
- it replaces the references to that doc with `:ref:` directives
rather than `:doc:` directives
- it is worth noting that it also fixes plenty of links that
previously referred to "developer_mode" (the category) rather than
"developer_mode/activate" (the document)
task-2535899
* Change 13.0 references to 14.0
* Change Ubuntu version to 20.04 as it was the stable version at Odoo
release time
* Remove unnecessary postgresql pre-installation as Debian and Ubuntu
install the recommended packages by default
* Replace `root` commands by `sudo` commands as it's the preferred way
to run admin commands
* Remove the manual installation of xlwt and num2words as the Debian
packages now exist.
* Bump the supported Fedora version to Fedora 32.
* Add a warning about unsupported Fedora 33 (because of Python 3.9 that
would need a separate package)
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.
