docs: Move docs on testing OAuth to their own page. In some minutes of searching yesterday afternoon on the docs site, I couldn't find docs on how to set up our OAuth integrations for the dev environment -- even though I was pretty sure they should be there somewhere, because I'd just been told that. Wasn't until I considered the problem fresh today, and grepped the docs source instead, that I found them. So, move them to a separate page so they're in the nav.

# Google & GitHub authentication with OAuth 2
docs: Reorganize developer docs to improve navigation. This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar. Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them. Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly. This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items, renames files in docs/development and docs/production, modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting, Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests. Note that this commit does not update direct links to zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated). Fixes #5265.

we support, a server can be configured to allow users to sign in with
their Google accounts or GitHub accounts, using the OAuth protocol.
## Testing OAuth in development
Because these authentication methods involve an interaction between
Zulip, an external service, and the user's browser, and particularly
because browsers can (rightly!) be picky about the identity of sites
you interact with, the preferred way to set them up in a development
environment is to set up the real Google and GitHub to process auth
requests for your development environment.
The steps to do this are a variation of the steps documented in
`prod_settings_template.py`. Here are the full procedures for dev:
### Google
docs/oauth: Update for Google UI changes, and for zulipdev.com. The control panel on the Google side doesn't seem to match the instructions we have; it looks pretty 2017 to me, so I imagine it's had a redesign since the instructions were written. Also, in dev, EXTERNAL_HOST is now a port on zulipdev.com, not on localhost. Update these instructions for those developments, and edit lightly. In dev, recommend setting in `dev_settings` instead of in `prod_settings_template`; that feels to me a little more reflective of the actual intent, and the effect should be equivalent.

* Visit https://console.developers.google.com and navigate to "APIs &
services" > "Credentials". Create a "Project" which will correspond
to your dev environment.
