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 Change-Id: I552a5645d5b7964d547f99b1336e2ac24e7c209f Signed-off-by: Nathan Skrzypczak <nathan.skrzypczak@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>

-### Preparing a VmWare Fusion Host
-The *vmxnet3 driver* is required on a GigE Network Adapter used by VPP. On VmWare
-Fusion, the default Network Adapter driver is an *Intel 82545EM (e1000)*, and there
-is no GUI to change it to *vmxnet3*. The change must be done manually in the VM's
-configuration file as follows:
-
-- Bring up the VM library window: **Window -> Virtual Machine Library**
-- Right click on the VM where you want to change the driver:
- <*VM-Name*> **-> Show in Finder**. This pops up a new Finder window with a line
- for each VM that Fusion knows about.
-- Right click on the VM where you want to change the driver:
- <*VM-Name*> **-> Show package contents**. This brings up a window with the
- contents of the package.
-- Open the file <*VM-Name*> **.vmx** with your favorite text editor.
-- For each Network Adapter that you want used by VPP, look for the
- Network Adapter's driver configuration. For example, for the VM's first
- Network Adapter look for:
- ```
- ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
- ```
- Replace `e1000` with `vmxnet3`:
- ```
- ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
- ```
-and restart the VM.
-
-If you replaced the driver on your VM's primary Network Adapter, you will
-have to change the primary network interface configuration in Linux.
-
-First, get the new primary network interface name:
-```
-sudo lshw -class network -businfo
-
-Bus info Device Class Description
-========================================================
-pci@0000:03:00.0 ens160 network VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller
-```
-Replace the existing primary network interface name in `/etc/network/interfaces`
-with the above device name (ens160):
-```
-# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system,
-# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
-
-source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
-
-# The loopback network interface
-auto lo
-iface lo inet loopback
-
-# The primary network interface
-auto ens160
-iface ens160 inet dhcp \ No newline at end of file
