This commit replaces a big chunk of the instructions relative to the
environment setup with a reference to the equivalent steps listed in the
contribution guide. It also moves the content of the "Create your first
PR" section from chapter 16 to chapter 2, as readers were struggling
with the Git configuration required to push their work to GitHub as they
progressed through the tutorial.

This commit adds a warning about never using mutable global variables

The extension adds two new directive:
- `cards` is the row container for one or more `card` directives.
- `card` is the implementation of a Bootstrap card that accepts a
`target` argument for the href of the card, a `large` option to render
the card on two columns, and arbitrary content that is shown in the
card body.

The goal of this commit is to propose a first step towards a new
`.. card::` directive for the toctrees. This is a first design
proposition for this new card component in raw html for the fallback
page `howtos.rst`
The long term objective is to redesign the toctrees by implementing card
components, clearer toctree list design and custom html pages.

In chapter 14 there was a line pointing to how to deduce a default journal for an `account.move` record.
This is no longer needed as the journal is automatically deduced using the `move_type`. Also, the link

This tutorial was already outdated in 13.0 (but
supposedly working).
In 14.0+, a lot of changes happened in website logic,
especially for 'website option definitions', breaking
the existing theme tutorial.
Considering the fact that a new tutorial is being made,
and that fixing the whole existing tutorial would be
a big work, it will be kept, but hidden as 'most things
being said still make sense'.

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.

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 "View Inheritance" section is introduced by a sentence that can be
understood as "do this task then we'll be ready to go the next section"
instead of "in the next section we will see how to do this task".
This can confuse the reader into thinking that some knowledge was not
acquired in the previous parts.
This commit makes it clear that the task described in the transition
sentence will be achieved in the next part.
