Xavier (XPL) b7d5d04229 [REF] install: move intro to main install page and split by install type
This PR moves the introduction about the different installation methods and editions found on the
install/install.rst page directly under the main install/ page. It creates three pages, one per
installation method documented on the install/install.rst page (Docker being documented on
docker.com and maintained by us), and moves the related content there. In addition, it fixes various
typos/grammar issues and improves the content according to the documentation guidelines. Various
references and links across the documentation had to be fixed accordingly.

Install

Depending on the intended use case, there are multiple ways to install Odoo - or not install it at
all.
- :doc:`Online <install/online>` is the easiest way to use Odoo in production or to try it.
- :doc:`Packaged installers <install/packages>` are suitable for testing Odoo and developing
modules. They can be used for long-term production with additional deployment and maintenance
work.
- :doc:`Source install <install/source>` provides greater flexibility, as it allows, for example,
running multiple Odoo versions on the same system. It is adequate to develop modules and can be
used as a base for production deployment.
- A `Docker <https://hub.docker.com/_/odoo/>`_ base image is available for development or
deployment.

Editions
========
There are two different editions.
**Odoo Community** is the free and open-source version of the software, licensed under the `GNU
LGPLv3 <https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/master/LICENSE>`_. It is the core upon which Odoo
Enterprise is built.
**Odoo Enterprise** is the shared source version of the software, giving access to more
functionalities, including functional support, upgrades, and hosting. `Pricing
<https://www.odoo.com/pricing-plan>`_ starts from one app free.
.. tip::
:doc:`Switch from Community to Enterprise <maintain/enterprise>` at any time (except for the
source install).
