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.
