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

-**************************
-Creating VPP Documents
-**************************
-
-These instructions show how the VPP documentation sources are built.
-
-The VPP Documents are written using `reStructuredText <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/index.html>`_ (rst),
-or markdown (md). These files are then built using the Sphinx build system `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_.
-
-Get the VPP sources
-=====================
-
-Start with a clone of the vpp repository.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vpp
-   $ cd vpp
-
-
-Install the Necessary Packages
-===============================
-
-Before building the docs there are some packages that are needed. To install
-these packages on ubuntu execute the following.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ sudo apt-get install python3-all python3-setuptools python3-pip
-
- 
-Create a Virtual Environment using virtualenv
-===============================================
- 
-For more information on how to use the Python virtual environment check out
-`Installing packages using pip and virtualenv`_.
-
-.. _`Installing packages using pip and virtualenv`: https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtualenv/
-
-In the vpp root directory on your system, run: 
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ make docs-venv
-
-Which installs all the required applications into it's own, isolated, virtual environment, so as to not
-interfere with other builds that may use different versions of software.
-
-Build the html files
-======================
-
-Build the html **index.html** file: 
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ make docs
-
-Clean the environment
-======================
-
-Delete all the generated files with the following:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ make docs-clean
-
-View the results
-=================
-
-| If there are no errors during the build process, you should now have an **index.html** file in your
-| **vpp/docs/_build/html** directory, which you can then view in your browser.
-
-.. figure:: /_images/htmlBuild.png
-   :alt: Figure: My directory containing the index.html file
-   :scale: 35%
-   :align: center
-
-Whenever you make changes to your **.rst** files that you want to see, repeat this build process.
-
-.. note::
-
-   To exit from the virtual environment execute:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-   $ deactivate
-
-Getting your documents reviewed and merged
-==========================================
-
-VPP documents are reviewed and merged like and other source code. Refer to :ref:`gitreview`
-to get your changes reviewed and merged.
