This commit also replaces references to the "Building a module"
tutorial by references to the "Getting started" tutorial.

Friday afternoon cleanup. This is required so we can use "make test", as
there are currently hundreds of errors. For now, it is unusable because
of the oldest code in this repo.

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.

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.

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.

Moved advanced of dicuss to this new submenu + adding of content regarding
frequently asked question in support.
Redirection has been done on other files pointing to Discuss/Advanced to match
the new folder email_communication.
Modified content in:
- Email servers: split and move configuration part under email_domain
- Email domain: covering information about SPF DKIM and DMARC configurations by JQU
- Email templates: (how to use the functions) by GOR

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)

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.
