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 web applications
-=============================
-
-Vpp includes a versatile http/https "static" server plugin. We quote
-the word static in the previous sentence because the server is easily
-extended. This note describes how to build a Hugo site which includes
-both monitoring and control functions.
-
-Let's assume that we have a vpp data-plane plugin which needs a
-monitoring and control web application. Here's how to build one.
-
-Step 1: Add URL handlers
-------------------------
-
-Individual URL handlers are pretty straightforward. You can
-return just about anything you like, but as we work through
-the example you'll see why returning data in .json format
-tends to work out pretty well.
-
-```
-    static int
-    handle_get_status (http_builtin_method_type_t reqtype,
-                     u8 * request, http_session_t * hs)
-    {
-      my_main_t *mm = &my_main;
-      u8 *s = 0;
-
-      /* Construct a .json reply */
-      s = format (s, "{\"status\": {");
-      s = format (s, "   \"thing1\": \"%s\",", mm->thing1_value_string);
-      s = format (s, "   \"thing2\": \"%s\",", mm->thing2_value_string);
-      /* ... etc ... */
-      s = format (s, "   \"lastthing\": \"%s\"", mm->last_value_string);
-      s = format (s, "}}");
-
-      /* And tell the static server plugin how to send the results */
-      hs->data = s;
-      hs->data_offset = 0;
-      hs->cache_pool_index = ~0;
-      hs->free_data = 1; /* free s when done with it, in the framework */
-      return 0;
-    }
-```
-
-Words to the Wise: Chrome has a very nice set of debugging
-tools. Select "More Tools -> Developer Tools". Right-hand sidebar
-appears with html source code, a javascript debugger, network results
-including .json objects, and so on.
-
-Note: .json object format is **intolerant** of both missing and extra
-commas, missing and extra curly-braces. It's easy to waste a
-considerable amount of time debugging .json bugs.
-
-Step 2: Register URL handlers with the server
----------------------------------------------
-
-Call http_static_server_register_builtin_handler() as shown. It's
-likely but not guaranteed that the static server plugin will be
-available.
-
-
-```
-    int
-    plugin_url_init (vlib_main_t * vm)
-    {
-      void (*fp) (void *, char *, int);
-
-      /* Look up the builtin URL registration handler */
-      fp = vlib_get_plugin_symbol ("http_static_plugin.so",
-    			       "http_static_server_register_builtin_handler");
-
-      if (fp == 0)
-        {
-          clib_warning ("http_static_plugin.so not loaded...");
-          return -1;
-        }
-
-      (*fp) (handle_get_status, "status.json", HTTP_BUILTIN_METHOD_GET);
-      (*fp) (handle_get_run, "run.json", HTTP_BUILTIN_METHOD_GET);
-      (*fp) (handle_get_reset, "reset.json", HTTP_BUILTIN_METHOD_GET);
-      (*fp) (handle_get_stop, "stop.json", HTTP_BUILTIN_METHOD_GET);
-      return 0;
-      }
-```
-
-Make sure to start the http static server **before** calling
-plugin_url_init(...), or the registrations will disappear.
-
-Step 3: Install Hugo, pick a theme, and create a site
------------------------------------------------------
-
-Please refer to the Hugo documentation.
-
-See [the Hugo Quick Start
-Page](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start). Prebuilt binary
-artifacts for many different environments are available on
-[the Hugo release page](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases).
-
-To pick a theme, visit [the Hugo Theme
-site](https://themes.gohugo.io). Decide what you need your site to
-look like. Stay away from complex themes unless you're prepared to
-spend considerable time tweaking and tuning.
-
-The "Introduction" theme is a good choice for a simple site, YMMV.
-
-Step 4: Create a "rawhtml" shortcode
-------------------------------------
-
-Once you've initialized your new site, create the directory
-<site-root>/layouts/shortcodes. Create the file "rawhtml.html" in that
-directory, with the following contents:
-
-```
-    <!-- raw html -->
-    {{.Inner}}
-```
-This is a key trick which allows a static Hugo site to include
-javascript code.
-
-Step 5: create Hugo content which interacts with vpp
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-Now it's time to do some web front-end coding in javascript. Of
-course, you can create static text, images, etc. as described in the
-Hugo documentation. Nothing changes in that respect.
-
-To include dynamically-generated data in your Hugo pages, splat down
-some <div> HTML tags, and define a few buttons:
-
-```
-    {{< rawhtml >}}
-    <div id="Thing1"></div>
-    <div id="Thing2"></div>
-    <div id="Lastthing"></div>
-    <input type="button" value="Run" onclick="runButtonClick()">
-    <input type="button" value="Reset" onclick="resetButtonClick()">
-    <input type="button" value="Stop" onclick="stopButtonClick()">
-    <div id="Message"></div>
-    {{< /rawhtml >}}
-```
-
-Time for some javascript code to interact with vpp:
-
-    {{< rawhtml >}}
-    <script>
-    async function getStatusJson() {
-        pump_url = location.href + "status.json";
-        const json = await fetch(pump_url, {
-            method: 'GET',
-            mode: 'no-cors',
-            cache: 'no-cache',
-            headers: {
-                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
-            },
-        })
-        .then((response) => response.json())
-        .catch(function(error) {
-            console.log(error);
-        });
-
-        return json.status;
-    };
-
-    async function sendButton(which) {
-        my_url = location.href + which + ".json";
-        const json = await fetch(my_url, {
-            method: 'GET',
-            mode: 'no-cors',
-            cache: 'no-cache',
-            headers: {
-                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
-            },
-        })
-        .then((response) => response.json())
-        .catch(function(error) {
-            console.log(error);
-        });
-        return json.message;
-    };
-
-    async function getStatus() {
-          const status = await getStatusJson();
-
-          document.getElementById("Thing1").innerHTML = status.thing1;
-          document.getElementById("Thing2").innerHTML = status.thing2;
-          document.getElementById("Lastthing").innerHTML = status.lastthing;
-    };
-
-    async function runButtonClick() {
-          const json = await sendButton("run");
-          document.getElementById("Message").innerHTML = json.Message;
-    }
-
-    async function resetButtonClick() {
-          const json = await sendButton("reset");
-          document.getElementById("Message").innerHTML = json.Message;
-    }
-    async function stopButtonClick() {
-          const json = await sendButton("stop");
-          document.getElementById("Message").innerHTML = json.Message;
-    }
-
-    getStatus();
-
-    </script>
-    {{< /rawhtml >}}
-
-At this level, javascript coding is pretty simple. Unless you know
-exactly what you're doing, please follow the async function / await
-pattern shown above.
-
-Step 6: compile the website
----------------------------
-
-At the top of the website workspace, simply type "hugo". The compiled
-website lands in the "public" subdirectory.
-
-You can use the Hugo static server - with suitable stub javascript
-code - to see what your site will eventually look like. To start the
-hugo static server, type "hugo server". Browse to
-"http://localhost:1313".
-
-Step 7: configure vpp
----------------------
-
-In terms of command-line args: you may wish to use poll-sleep-usec 100
-to keep the load average low. Totally appropriate if vpp won't be
-processing a lot of packets or handling high-rate http/https traffic.
-
-```
-   unix {
-     ...
-     poll-sleep-usec 100
-     startup-config ... see below ...
-     ...
-    }
-```
-
-If you wish to provide an https site, configure tls. The simplest tls
-configuration uses a built-in test certificate - which will annoy
-Chrome / Firefox - but it's sufficient for testing:
-
-```
-    tls {
-        use-test-cert-in-ca
-    }
-```
-
-
-
-
-### vpp startup configuration
-
-Enable the vpp static server by way of the startup config mentioned above:
-
-```
-    http static server www-root /myhugosite/public uri tcp://0.0.0.0/2345 cache-size 5m fifo-size 8192
-```
-
-The www-root must be specified, and must correctly name the compiled
-hugo site root. If your Hugo site is located at /myhugosite, specify
-"www-root /myhugosite/public" in the "http static server" stanza. The
-uri shown above binds to TCP port 2345.
-
-If you're using https, use a uri like "tls://0.0.0.0/443" instead of
-the uri shown above.
-
-You may want to add a Linux host interface to view the full-up site locally:
-
-```
-    create tap host-if-name lstack host-ip4-addr 192.168.10.2/24
-    set int ip address tap0 192.168.10.1/24
-    set int state tap0 up
-```
