Tim Abbott 625c4aaca8 docs: Update recommendations on Vagrant version.
The history of this was that there was a period where half of Vagrant
releases were broken (for everyone, e.g. downloading a base container
didn't work).  It seems Vagrant has cleaned up their act at this point.

We really just want 2.0.x, not a specific version, and the direct
links we had are now quite old.

Thanks to Jonathon Hinchley for reporting this.

Fixes #11836.

Priyanshu Singh 61c0796025 docs: Document how to handle Hyper-V provisioning errors.
Specifically, the problem here is that Vagrant is mis-detecting what
provider to use.

Paurakh Sharma Humagain e9131b031b docs: Make the vagrant guide clone steps pasteable.
After the user clones Zulip they should first get inside the directory
before adding the remote upstream.

Tweaked by tabbott to make a bit simpler.

Anders Kaseorg c6da0d13cd docs: Update links to skip help.github.com redirects.
help.github.com seems to have a bug where HEAD on a redirected page
returns 404.  This causes tools/test-documentation to fail.  Fix it by
skipping the redirects.

Vishnu Ks c3aa7909ce docs: Update docs/git/ directory to reflect CI changes.
This isn't complete, in that we still need to rename the ReadTheDocs
articles (e.g.).

ruchit2801 01f634cea0 docs: Update virtualbox link to not pin a version.
Older versions of virtual box were giving installation error in new
MacOS Mojave.  While originally we considered changing the docs to
point to the current version 5.2.20, it seems better to just not pin a
version.

Significantly tweaked by tabbott.

Puneeth Chaganti 19990b06e9 vagrant: Use id -g for finding a user's group.
On OSX, the user id and group id don't match.  So while the previous
code was always wrong, it produced incorrect output there.  We can fix
this by replacing `whoami` with `id -g` for finding the current user's
group ID.

Tim Abbott 8c100f45f0 docs: Update development environment docs for Ubuntu bionic.

confusing that I noticed while working on this.

sections.

Greg Price 49252c97d2 docs: Fix explanation of Debian LXC installation.
This didn't really make much sense - it presented a quickstart summary
of the instructions as an item in the list of differences from the
Ubuntu case, plus that quickstart only incorporated one of the two
actual differences so it didn't work anyway.  Given the networking
stuff, an actual quickstart isn't in the cards, so just cut that.

Also fix some small things while we're here.

Tim Abbott db88634bcf docs: Better document how Debian LXC installation works.
This fixes an issue where users would try to setup LXC networking
before installing the LXC package.

Fixes #8503, thanks to @Shobitha-M for reporting.

Aman Agrawal 0db9f55924 Update versions for Vagrant and VirtualBox.
Update version of Vagrant from 1.8.6 to 2.0.2.
Update version of VirtualBox from 5.1.8 to 5.2.6.

We needed to update Vagrant because older versions have networking
problems on modern Macs, resulting in weird `apt` errors when
provisioning.

Commit message and some text tweaked by tabbott.

Jeremy Zhou 48163db479 docs: Update Windows installation instructions in setup-vagrant.md.
Vagrant 1.8.6 is only compatible with VirtualBox <= 5.1, so I made a
note to use version < 5.2.

Harshit Bansal fa3602b61f docs: Split 'git-guide.md`.

Mohd Ali Rizwi 66d658d7f1 docs: Use `git clone -c` to set `git pull` to rebase by default.
This updates the developer documentation to recommend `git clone -c`
to set the git pull mode to be rebase by default in the repository
configuration.

The hope is that this will help minimize how often new contributors
end up accidentally messing up their PRs by using `git pull`.

Tweaked by tabbott to fix broken links and optimize the language.

Fixes: #7022.

David Rosa Tamsen 7072fa5b37 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.
