Antoine Vandevenne (anv) 8722ea902e [MOV] content/*: move resource files into their related page's directory
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.

Create Project's Tasks from an Email Alias
==========================================
When you already have an email address that customers know from the top of their heads, changing
it is the last thing you want to do. Instead, link that address to your project and transform
those conversations into structured work. It automatically creates a task in the first stage
of a project.
Set up an incoming email server
===============================
| On the *Settings* application, enable *External Email Servers* and define the incoming email
alias you would like to use.
| **For more information**: :doc:`/applications/general/email_communication/email_servers`
Configure the email alias in your project
-----------------------------------------
| Now that you have the incoming email server set up, go to
:menuselection:`Project --> Configuration --> Projects --> Edit`. Under the *Emails* tab, define
the wanted email alias and choose the policy to receive a message.
| In addition, you can now directly set it when creating a new project.

All the recipients of the email (To/Cc/Bcc) are automatically added as followers of the task.
The email can be seen under the name of your project on the dashboard.
