Installing the Zulip Development environment
Improve first-time contributor docs. Fixes #747. Fixes #748. This updates README.dev.md to include clear, step-by-step instructions for setting up the Zulip dev environment Windows 10, OS X El Capitan, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, and Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial. It is aimed at first-time contributors. I tested these instructions multiple times on each of the target systems. Also added is a "trobleshooting and common errors" section which documents the most common errors contributors are likely to encounter during setup and how to fix them. Improvements based on feedback from @timabbott. - Fixes whitespace issues so linter will pass. - Updates memory requirement. - Re-orders so operating systems are listed alphabetically. - Updates headings to be clearer. - Updates and adds ToC entries for clarity. - Adds screen shot of Zulip dev environment running in browser. - Adds details about using dev environment, including about logging. - Misc other minor changes for clarity. - Adds a stub for docs/logging.md - Adds details about configuring Cygwin for native symlinks.

## Development environment setup for first-time contributors
Move and rearrange developer setup instructions. We aim to consolidate developer documentation on Read The Docs. As a start, this commit turns the first part of README.dev.md into a topic page within /docs/ , and links to it from the doc index. See #669.
