David Rosa Tamsen 7072fa5b37 docs: Reorganize developer docs to improve navigation.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.

This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.

Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).

Fixes #5265.

# Zulip PyPI package release checklist
This document describes the steps to be followed when preparing
a new release of the
[PyPI package for our API bindings][1].
While performing the steps outlined below, we should adhere to
the guidelines presented in the
[Python Packaging User Guide](https://packaging.python.org/).
The steps below assume that you are familiar with the material
presented [here](https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/).
1. [Reconfigure the package][2], if need be (upgrade version
number, development status, and so on).
2. Create a [source distribution][3].
3. Create a [pure Python Wheel][4].
4. [Upload][5] the distribution file(s) to [zulip-beta][6].
5. Post about the beta release in `#general` and test
the [zulip-beta][6] package extensively.
6. Respond to the feedback received in **Step 5**.
7. Make final changes, upload the distribution file(s) to the
main [zulip][1] package.
8. Post in `#general` about the new release.
**Note:** We may upload directly to the main [zulip][1] package
without beta-testing on [zulip-beta][6], if we feel that the changes
made in the new release are minor and not disruptive enough to
warrant extensive pretesting.
