Generate developer docs with Sphinx

An effort was started some time ago to consolidate all internal
documentation in the git tree. However, this was just an accumulation of
files in various formats without any strucutre or way to browse it,
which results in no one even knowing that we have docs here.

This converts most of the files to restructuredtext and uses Sphinx to
generate an HTML browsable user manual (with a table of content and a
first attempt to put things in a global hierarchy).

There are almost no changes to the documentation content in this commit
(some obviously obsolete things were removed). The plan is to get the
toolchain up and running to make these docs easily available, and only
then see about improving the content. We can migrate some things off the
wiki and website, and rework the table of contents to have some more
hierarchy levels because currently it's a bit messy.

The Be File System
================================
Probably the best resource for a description of the inner workings of
BFS is the book "Practical File System Design with the Be File System"
written by Dominic Giampaolo and published by Morgan Kaufmann
Publishers. Although that book is out of print, it's available at the
`Haiku web
site <https://www.haiku-os.org/legacy-docs/practical-file-system-design.pdf>`__.
If you prefer to see how it works in code, please have a look at
`Haiku's BFS
