Zixuan James Li 4a18552ff8 docs: Document and advocate systemd for WSL 2.
systemd makes it a lot convenient to run services required for Zulip's
development environment on WSL 2. Once enabled, `tools/start_service`
becomes unnecessary.

Lauryn Menard b9dd109e93 docs: Edit `pull-requests.md` and `reviewable-prs.md`.
Fixes a few typos / errors in commit a633890d8 that updated
these documentation articles on pull requests.

Also adjusts language around screenshots to match what we use
in the pull request template on GitHub for the zulip server and
web app repository.

to link to the new section and to not have an out-of-date screenshot
of the GitHub pull request template.

Anders Kaseorg c1675913a2 web: Move web app to ‘web’ directory.
Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).

Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules.  This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack.  It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.

David Rosa cdc9a64c21 docs: Fix development environment setup on Windows.
Windows users end up having to follow an odd chain of links because
the recommended installation instructions live on a different
page than the rest of the instructions about the environment setup.

All the tutorials about recommended install prerequisites for each
platform should be on the same page.

This moves the section about using WSL 2 from the advanced setup page
to the recommended environment setup tutorial page.

Renames sidebar and section titles to more accurately reflect the
information in the Recommended setup vs. the Advanced setup page.
Updates relevant text and links accordingly.

Fixes: #13696.

Anders Kaseorg 75525f5b53 docs: Convert .html#fragment links to .md#fragment.
This uses the myst_heading_anchors option to automatically generate
header anchors and make Sphinx aware of them.  See
https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax/optional.html#auto-generated-header-anchors.

Note: to be compatible with GitHub, MyST-Parser uses a slightly
different convention for .md fragment links than .html fragment links
when punctuation is involved.  This does not affect the generated
fragment links in the HTML output.

Fixes #13264.

Anders Kaseorg c19d6fb3ef docs: Clean redundant relative links.
We previously had a convention of redundantly including the directory
in relative links to reduce mistakes when moving content from one file
to another.  However, these days we have a broken link checker in
test-documentation, and after #21237, MyST-Parser will check relative
links (including fragments) when you run build-docs.

Anders Kaseorg 8043d96dd1 docs: Be clear that PRs should be made from a feature branch.
We seem to periodically get contributors who rebase upstream commits
onto their pull request rather than the other way around, resulting in
a lot of GitHub noise.  The PRs where this happens were made from
branches named master.  We have always documented that you should work
on a feature branch, but not from this page; maybe this will help
reduce that kind of confusion.
