In an attempt to help new developers install Odoo with a
straightforward procedure, Chapter 2 of the "Getting started" tutorial
included copy-pastes of parts of the "Installing Odoo" page. This proved
to be inefficient because it required maintaining documentation on the
installation procedure in several places and misled the readers by
suggesting installing the Python requirements *after* installing
PostgreSQL.
With this commit, the page on Chapter 2 is refreshed to be clearer to
the readers and redirect them to the "Installing Odoo" page when
necessary.

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 documentation of view attributes was lacking visual structure to
help the reader figure out which attribute relates to which parent
element. Since this documentation was relying on RST block quotes to
represent the hierarchy of view attributes, we can apply the same new
styling that was added with commit 934f45cf and designed for autodoc,
and which relies on the exact same HTML structure as block quotes.

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.

If merged, this will update the screenshot for the "Connect a SIX Payment Terminal to your PoS" v14 user doc. In Odoo v14.0, the "Use a Payment Terminal" field only has "Six" as an option, not "Six without IoT Box." The new screenshot reflects this change and I also rewrote the step to reflect this change.
I also added alt text to the images, fixed the image file names, and fixed the image file folder name.

Since odoo/documentation#903, the guideline for the location of new
resource (images, downloadable files, RST includes...) files is to place
those inside the directory of the RST page that references them.
For example, if `doc1.rst` has a reference to `image.png` and to
`download.zip`, the file structure should look like this:
├── parent_doc/
│ └── doc1/
│ │ └── image.png
│ │ └── download.zip
│ └── doc1.rst
│ └── doc2.rst
├── parent_doc.rst
Before this commit, most of the resource files were still located inside
'media' directories holding all the resource files referenced by RST
pages located at the same level as these directories. In the example
above, a single 'media' directory would hold all the resource files
referenced by both `doc1.rst` and `doc2.rst`. Doing so prevented us from
figuring out easily which resource file was referenced by which RST page
and, thus, lead to unused resource files piling up in the repository. It
also made it more complicated to define codeowners regex rules because a
team could not simply be assigned to `/some_page.*` but needed to be
assigned to both `/some_page\.rst` and to the location of 'media'.
In order to help new content writers figure out the guideline when
taking examples from other RST pages, this commit retroactively applies
the guideline to existing resource files and 'media' directories. The
left-over resource files that are not referenced by any RST page are
removed.

The previous guidelines for titles and headings included an exception to
capitalize feature names as they are written in the apps. However, this
exception seems to have confused most writers as it isn't always clear
what should be considered as a feature name or what should be considered
as a noun or noun group. This commit removes this exception to make the
writing and reviewing processes easier while retaining good titles and
improving consistency across the documentation. It also changes the
titles of the Accounting section to provide a better example to other
writers.

Mexican companies very commonly issue invoices in USD, to be fulfiled
in MXN, at the official exchange rate defined by the Banco de Mexico
on the day of payment.
(Presumably, this is to insure against the volatility of the Mexican
peso.)
Odoo supports this workflow, but only if the payment is registered
directly on the invoice using the 'Register Payment' button.
If the payment is created separately, and then reconciled manually
with the invoice, a whole host of problems occur:
- the payment typically can't be reconciled fully with the invoice,
(even though that can usually be solved by manually creating
an exchange move)
- but more problematically, the amounts on the payment CFDI will
be wrong, and even manually creating an exchange move won't solve
that.
So, we absolutely need to warn users not to try to do that.
(We've been encountering lots of tickets lately in the tech-support
pipe because of users who tried this and then wonder why it doesn't
work.)
This is currently an issue in 14.0, 15.0 and master.
