Wyatt Hoodes aac09b22ac vagrant: Add option to specify system settings.
Two variables were declared and assigned the respective values of the
default settings for the system. If the keyword is used in the
~/.zulip-vagrant-config file, the value is assigned to the variable.

There is no straightforward way to customize the virtual machine's
number of cpus or memory, this commit addresses that fact.

Tim Abbott abc7a00d35 Revert "docs: Update .html links to .md."
This doesn't work without the CommonMark upgrade.

This reverts commit c87893feea.

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.

Zach Wener-Fligner ab15cd13a6 docs: Modify dev SSL/certbot setup docs to match script.
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.

AsociTon 87f7a578e6 docs: Document a Windows GitHub Desktop bug.
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.

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.

Mayank Madan 264c2e9803 provision: Add provision support for Ubuntu 18.10.

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.

Anders Kaseorg c6da0d13cd docs: Update links to skip help.github.com redirects.

skipping the redirects.

Older versions of virtual box were giving installation error in new

version.

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 5371589c76 setup-advanced: Remove broken links for old tsearch_extras packages.
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.

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.

Update version of Vagrant from 1.8.6 to 2.0.2.

We needed to update Vagrant because older versions have networking

provisioning.

Greg Price edfa3eabfd docs: Use `orphan` to directly exclude pages from toctree.
This is what the Sphinx docs recommend when you actually don't want
the page to be included in navigation:
  http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html
And now that we have `eval_rst`, we're able to take advantage of it!

One difference between doing this and the old way of making "hidden"
toctree entries is that with the latter, the "previous" and "next"
links at the bottom of each page would thread through the hidden
entries; which gets kind of confusing when they don't appear in the nav.

Previous versions of these links were removed earlier today because

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.

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.
