Greg Price 6aa7a1b8d2 install docs: Document streamlined self-signed-cert flow.
This is easy now, so make it known to admins who are looking for a
fast path for a test install.

Also totally cut the painfully complicated steps for generating a
self-signed cert by hand.  Anyone who actually wants that can find a
hundred explanations on the Web, or can look at our script if they
want to specifically mirror how we do it (which is mercifully much
simpler than this.)

Greg Price c27f36a82a install: Rename generate-self-signed-cert.
This script generates one certificate.

Greg Price d258e48f3d install: Replace our generate-self-signed-certs script.
Take the core of the logic from how Debian generates the system's
/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem ; that gives me more confidence
in the various config choices, and it also demonstrates a much cleaner
way to use the `openssl` tool.  Also replace the outer shell logic for
CLI and logging with a cleaner version.

Greg Price bffc11f824 docs: Add an `unreleased` tag.
This allows us to conditionally include a note just for unreleased
versions of the docs (i.e., "latest") and omit it when released.

Greg Price d4a86c840d docs: Enable embedding fragments of ReST in our Markdown.
This allows us to selectively use some of the powerful features of
ReST which Python projects with high-quality documentation (like
Python core, and Django) rely on.

Greg Price 2bf5d0074c docs: Update ETA for Let's Encrypt wildcard support.
It's now January 2018, so we can delete this caveat, right?
Not quite yet -- the original post we link to now has an
update saying 2018-02-27.  Let's make it less specific,
in case the date changes again.

Greg Price 0cf0c51cad docs: Revise description of main install step.
Bulleted information instead of prose, huzzah!  Also I think we need
to explain the options a bit right here, or at least link to where
they're documented somewhere.  (If the list gets much longer, we'll
want to shift toward the latter.)

Also reorganize existing information a bit, and clean up a couple
of nits.

Greg Price bcc1456f55 docs: Tighten sub-headings in SSL certs doc.
What I really want is to give these sections nice stable slugs
to put on the anchors and use as the URL fragment, independent of
any wording tweaks on the text headings.  But I don't think we
have that feature with Markdown and our current docs infrastructure.

At least for Certbot, the brevity helps make this heading clearer
than the previous one.

Greg Price 93b957eaae docs: Revise explanation of manual SSL cert install.
Change a bit of prose to bullets.  Also lead with the "If you ..."
that helps readers skim past this section.

Greg Price e68f426286 docs/production: Revise doc on authentication methods.
Hopefully this version makes it somewhat clearer how the different
methods relate to each other, how to choose between them, what
`ZulipRemoteUserBackend` is for, and how the latter works.

Vagrant 1.8.6 is only compatible with VirtualBox <= 5.1, so I made a
note to use version < 5.2.

Greg Price d4f0c4dffc docs: Restore Docker links, updated.
Previous versions of these links were removed earlier today because
Docker upstream had broken them.

To see what the links had been intended to point to, I used the
Wayback Machine (web.archive.org/web), the super-handy project of the
Internet Archive.  These are the current equivalents.

Greg Price c2cd76b69e docs: Note need to log out and in again on push notifs setup.
This often surprises people, so mention it up front.

(Also it'd probably be good to add some code to make this step
unnecessary.)

Greg Price dc8cb0b436 docs/git/pull-requests: Give headings more hierarchy.

Greg Price c7a9f2f4eb docs: Give docs on docs a clearer heading for navigation.
The old name sounds like it's going to be an index or table

Rishi Gupta 191f8f1b39 left sidebar: Change Home to All messages.
We made this change because users often unnecessarily click "Home"
first in their use of Zulip, because it seems appealing.  While "All
messages" isn't quite precise (it doesn't include muted streams), it
does describe relatively simply the interleaved view that this
represents.

This commit leaves everything as "home" in the code, and only changes
user-visible strings and docs. Changing the code will be a big project;
there are hundreds of relevant occurrences in variable names, etc.

Further, we'll probably want to convert those various variable names
in different ways.

Tweaked by tabbott to extend the commit message and update a few comments.

David Rosa Tamsen 84384196f2 docs: Exclude files from TOC warnings and navigation sidebar.
Sphinx was displaying "WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree"
for files we just don't want in the TOC. We can hide them from the index,
but the rtd theme defaults to display hidden index entries in the nav bar.

This commit excludes these files from such warnings, and patches layout.html
so that hidden index entries stay hidden from the navigation sidebar.

This commit also moves password-strength.md under docs/production and
adds it as a hidden entry in production/index.rst.

Fixes #7417.

David Rosa Tamsen 11b8b8f483 docs: Add rtd layout template.
The readthedocs theme overrides a few settings in their layout template.
We might want to change some settings back to their default values.

This commit copies the original readthedocs layout file from
https://github.com/rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme/blob/master/sphinx_rtd_theme/layout.html
to _templates/layout.html, and excludes it from lint and template checks.

Addresses #7417.
