docs: better docs, mv doxygen to sphinx

This patch refactors the VPP sphinx docs
in order to make it easier to consume
for external readers as well as VPP developers.

It also makes sphinx the single source
of documentation, which simplifies maintenance
and operation.

Most important updates are:

- reformat the existing documentation as rst
- split RELEASE.md and move it into separate rst files
- remove section 'events'
- remove section 'archive'
- remove section 'related projects'
- remove section 'feature by release'
- remove section 'Various links'
- make (Configuration reference, CLI docs,
  developer docs) top level items in the list
- move 'Use Cases' as part of 'About VPP'
- move 'Troubleshooting' as part of 'Getting Started'
- move test framework docs into 'Developer Documentation'
- add a 'Contributing' section for gerrit,
  docs and other contributer related infos
- deprecate doxygen and test-docs targets
- redirect the "make doxygen" target to "make docs"

Type: refactor

-Building VPP
-============
-
-To get started developing with VPP, you need to get the required VPP sources and then build the packages. 
-For more detailed information on the build system please refer to :ref:`buildsystem`.
-
-.. _setupproxies:
-
-Set up Proxies
---------------------------
-
-Depending on the environment you are operating in, proxies may need to be set. 
-Run these proxy commands to specify the *proxy-server-name* and corresponding *port-number*:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ export http_proxy=http://<proxy-server-name>.com:<port-number>
-    $ export https_proxy=https://<proxy-server-name>.com:<port-number>
-
-
-Get the VPP Sources
------------------------------------
-
-To get the VPP sources that are used to create the build, run the following commands:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vpp
-    $ cd vpp
-
-Build VPP Dependencies
---------------------------------------
-
-Before building a VPP image, make sure there are no FD.io VPP or DPDK packages
-installed, by entering the following commands:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ dpkg -l | grep vpp 
-    $ dpkg -l | grep DPDK
-
-There should be no output, or no packages shown after the above commands are run.
-
-Run the following **make** command to install the dependencies for FD.io VPP. 
-
-If the download hangs at any point, then you may need to 
-:ref:`set up proxies <setupproxies>` for the download to work.
-

-Build VPP (Debug)
-----------------------------
-
-This build version contains debug symbols which are useful for modifying VPP. The
-**make** command below builds a debug version of VPP. The binaries, when building the
-debug images, can be found in /build-root/vpp_debug-native.
-
-The Debug build version contains debug symbols, which are useful for troubleshooting
-or modifying VPP. The **make** command below, builds a debug version of VPP. The
-binaries used for building the debug image can be found in */build-root/vpp_debug-native*.
-
-.. code-block:: console

-Build VPP (Release Version)
------------------------------------------
-
-This section describes how to build the regular release version of FD.io VPP. The
-release build is optimized and does not create any debug symbols.
-The binaries used in building the release images are found in */build-root/vpp-native*.
-
-Use the following **make** command below to build the release version of FD.io VPP.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ make build-release
-
-
-Building Necessary Packages
---------------------------------------------
-
-The package that needs to be built depends on the type system VPP will be running on:
-
-* The :ref:`Debian package <debianpackages>` is built if VPP is going to run on Ubuntu
-* The :ref:`RPM package <rpmpackages>` is built if VPP is going to run on Centos or Redhat
-
-.. _debianpackages:
-
-Building Debian Packages
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To build the debian packages, use the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ make pkg-deb 
-	
-.. _rpmpackages:
-
-Building RPM Packages
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To build the rpm packages, use one of the following commands below, depending on the system:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    $ make pkg-rpm
-
-Once the packages are built they can be found in the build-root directory.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-    
-    $ ls *.deb
-
-    If the packages are built correctly, then this should be the corresponding output:
-
-    vpp_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb             vpp-dbg_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb
-    vpp-dev_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb         vpp-api-lua_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb
-    vpp-lib_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb         vpp-api-python_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb
-    vpp-plugins_18.07-rc0~456-gb361076_amd64.deb
-
-Finally, the created packages can be installed using the following commands. Install
-the package that corresponds to OS that VPP will be running on:
-
-For Ubuntu:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ sudo bash
-   # dpkg -i *.deb
-
-For Centos or Redhat:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ sudo bash
-   # rpm -ivh *.rpm
