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.

Now that a new styling for API references was added with commit 934f45c,
we can remove the extra CSS that was crafted specifically for JavaScript
API references with commit 05a0a49a. While we're at it, this commit also
applies the new styling to definition lists that were missing it, like
it was done for the page on views with commit 120ae785.

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.

At the point when the developer mode is introduced in the training, it is
confusing because the documentation page describes the option inside the
Settings page, but that page only appears if at least one application is
installed. (Otherwise, the Settings app shows the Users instead)
This commit adds a note so that the reader does not start looking for a

All examples on the page suggest calling the CLI with "odoo-bin" while
it is recommended to call it with "odoo" when Odoo was installed from a
distribution package. It also failed to mention the location of
"odoo-bin" relative to the source files.
The chance is also taken to rename the somewhat unclear page title to
something more clear and generic.

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
