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 improves the structure of the "Sign" app:
- it removes a useless "overview" category
- it adds a brief explanation at the "app" level, including links to
relevant docs

Now that patchqueue was removed, we can consider supporting the parallel
read with our local extensions.
Since we only have basic extensions, not storing any data on the build
environment, the change mainly consists of specifying the extensions as
parallelizable.
The only specific case is the html domain, since the base html domain
requires the support of the method merge_domaindata in parallel read
mode. Since we do not need to share anything between the envs for this
extension, we can simply ignore the method.
This commit removes the extra search bar that was dedicated to the
mobile layout and adapts the desktop's one to be compatible with mobile.
It also brings back the "Hide Search Matches" button.
This avoids to have URL pointing to
https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/<VERSION>/<LANG>/odoo_enterprise_agreement.pdf
when switching a language
The pdf are built only once and are global per version
Remove the patchqueue extension from the doc requirements since it isn't
maintained anymore (raising warnings for recent sphinx versions) and the
patches to specify code blocks aren't easy to maintain.
Remove hidden code patches, and replaces shown patches by code block /
literalincludes to keep the useful content.
Removes unnecessary, straightforward, easy-to-figure out documentation, as part of an effort to '
clear out any sort of documentation that is either too easy, too simple,
or already gone over in the tutorial videos. This documentation falls into that category. Hence,
it was removed entirely.
As per the documentation, it is possible to show inventory availability under ecommerce without
installing Inventory app which is incorrect. Made the appropriate changes.
# If you feel that it might help a future reader to understand your commit

#
# 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
#
Applications pages are now put in sub-directories corresponding to their scope
(Productivity, finance, sales, marketing, services, ...) and the redirects had
to be updated accordingly.

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.

Closes#945
CUPS the server will never be installed on an Odoo.sh machine.
That being said you can use a remote printer with a cups client.
The problem lays in the sorry state of libcups dependencies so we will
try to get a reliable section in the documentation for 20.04 as soon as
we can get a testcase.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the command line `lp` cups cli
client tool could be used as a workaround in the OCA concerned module:
