Generate developer docs with SphinxAn effort was started some time ago to consolidate all internaldocumentation in the git tree. However, this was just an accumulation offiles 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 togenerate an HTML browsable user manual (with a table of content and afirst 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 thetoolchain up and running to make these docs easily available, and onlythen see about improving the content. We can migrate some things off thewiki and website, and rework the table of contents to have some morehierarchy levels because currently it's a bit messy.Change-Id: I924ac9dc6e753887ab56f18a09bdb0a1e1793bfdReviewed-on: https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/4370Reviewed-by: Niels Sascha Reedijk <niels.reedijk@gmail.com>

HaikuDepot: Process and Data-loading ImprovementsThis change is a reshuffle of the backend processing involved in theaquisition of data from servers including the pull-down and load ofHPKR data as well as the pull-down and load of data from theHaikuDepotServer (HDS) system. The driver for this change is toimplement an initial implementation of a progress bar for theloading of data as the application starts.The following are notable changes;* Removed some previously attempted 'functional style' logic in the model which didn't fit well with C++* Use of the base-url in the logical mapping from HDS and HD data is no longer required and has been removed* Some logging has been improved making it clearer which part of HD is producing the logging which in turn helps with debugging issues* List class has been modified to more cleanly support sorted lists and binary searches; tests have also be updated accordingly* Reorganise and tidy-up of the data-loading processes' structures* The local repository update (HPKR) and data-load occur in background processes now in the same system as the HDS data-load - this has been crudely shifted from the MainWindow to new Processes and incorporated into the background processing system* The 'state-machine' background process runner is now replaced with a 'coordinator' style approach that can more easily handle the new processes related to HPKR loading.* Progress for loading processes is shown in the main window in the WorkStatusView - this is flickering a bit, but basically works* Added some documentation regarding how Processes work in the system* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item now also updates data from HDS* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item is disabled when the background processes are running that update the repository dataSome further refinement would be good, but this change is large enoughfor one round of improvements. There is an issue that the status baris used for screenshot display as well as this data-loading, but thatwas the case before so it is something that can be dealt with later ifit is a problem.Change-Id: I7668307645e3aabaf7e4a6e37e2cca80cc0f489eReviewed-on: https://review.haiku-os.org/770Reviewed-by: waddlesplash <waddlesplash@gmail.com>
