Tim Abbott 4e421ebe12 scripts: Move inline-email-css from tools to scripts.
We'll be soon documenting a production workflow that involves using
it, and that means it needs to live under scripts/ (since tools/ isn't
present in release tarballs).

Tim Abbott b5f78b6c94 docs: Improve heading sections for development authentication.
This adds discussion of EmailAuthBackend and also avoids framing

time.

David Rosa bdbc384de5 docs: Reduce the number of apparently broken links on github.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".

Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.

Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links.  This will be a follow-up issue.

Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719

Fixes #11087.

- Fixed build TypeError: sequence item 1: expected str instance, NoneType found
  caused by recommonmark/parser.py erroring on a newline character.
- Removed deprecated code in conf.py that was causing warning messages
- Updated conf.py according to instructions for Sphinx-1.4 or newer

Add a specific command to restart Vagrant to adopt the new

Anders Kaseorg 6701c4463c search: Remove now unnecessary tsearch_extra dependency.
Now that we're implemented tsearch_extras in pure postgres, we no
longer need a custom extension.  This should help us considerably, as
it means we no longer need to ship custom apt packages at all.

Fixes #467.

Hemanth V. Alluri dac068df31 production: Finish adding production support for Zulip on Debian Buster.
This commit finishes adding end-to-end support for the install script
on Debian Buster (making it production ready). Some support for this
was already added in prior commits such as
99414e2d96.

We plan to revert the postgres hunks of this once we've built
tsearch_extras for our packagecloud archive.

Fixes #9828.

Hemanth V. Alluri cb21207a4b docs: Add a section about enabling docker before doing vagrant up.
Many Linux distros like Debian Buster, Fedora 29, etc. have a policy
where any services installed are disabled by default. So we should let
the developer know that they should explicitly enable and start the
Docker daemon.

Also, we should be verbose on how to do vagrant up using Docker as a
provider specifically (and similar for Virtualbox).

There is no straightforward way to customize the virtual machine's

Samuel Searles-Bryant c87893feea docs: Update .html links to .md.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.

This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.

Fixes: #11087.

Tim Abbott fac875a922 docs: Eliminate most development manual install docs.
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.

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.
