The docs specify passing hostname with the --hostname flag, which
doesn't match the actual usage in scripts/setup/setup-certbot. This
change fixes the docs to match the actual usage.
Add the recommendation in docs for not using GitHub Desktop client for
zulip code as it has a bug of keeping the symlinks disabled and ignoring
any configuration done to re-enable it resulting into failure to identify
the received symlinks leading to failing test cases in the zulip development
environment.
This documentation had a tendency to bitrot, and in any case now that
we have tooling for doing Fedora (etc.) from provision, it's likely
the case that adding other Linux/UNIX distros we care about to
provision would not be difficult and is a better path than maintaining
this manually-curated duplicate of `tools/provision`.
Further, even if this documentation was maintained, one would still
end up wanting to run `provision` after rebasing a branch, so it was
never particularly practical for extended development.
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.
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.

Otherwise this causes an error
```
AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry'
```
on 3.7. While the error is specific to 3.7, it is safer to uninstall
typing for all the versions that don't require a pip-provided typing
library.
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.
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.
Tweaked by tabbott to move most of the content into the remote
development documentation, both for brevity in the main docs as well
as clarity.
Fixes#10694.
It appears Luke's Dropbox folder/shared link that used to host some
tsearch_extras binaries was removed. It wasn't very high-value
regardless, because most of the platforms involved are deprecated, the
ones that don't generally have a PPA, and building from source is
pretty easy. So, we just remove these options from the documentation.
While we're at it, make clear we only support direct installation on
Ubuntu LTS.
Fixes#9863.
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.
