[DOCS] massive documentation update (#20229) This PR: - reorganizes all documentation pages so they live in the right category - removes lots of legacy docs - contains many improvements to active documentation pages Geth user documentation is now spread across five major categories: - Install and Build: installation and compile instructions - Using Geth: this is for pages about general geth usage. - For dApp Developers: this is for programming guides and functionality specific to dapp development. All the dev guides for mobile framework and Go APIs live here. - JSON-RPC APIs: this has its own section because there is now a sub-page for every name space. I have also added an overview text that explains how to set up the API servers. - For Geth Developers: this is for geth contributors

The Ethereum blockchain along with its two extension protocols Whisper and Swarm was
originally conceptualized to become the supporting pillar of web3, providing the
consensus, messaging and storage backbone for a new generation of distributed (actually,
decentralized) applications called DApps.
The first incarnation towards this dream of web3 was a command line client providing an
RPC interface into the peer-to-peer protocols. The client was soon enough extended with a
web-browser-like graphical user interface, permitting developers to write DApps based on
the tried and proven HTML/CSS/JS technologies.
As many DApps have more complex requirements than what a browser environment can handle,
it became apparent that providing programmatic access to the web3 pillars would open the
door towards a new class of applications. As such, the second incarnation of the web3
dream is to open up all our technologies for other projects as reusable components.
Starting with the 1.5 release family of `go-ethereum`, we transitioned away from providing
only a full blown Ethereum client and started shipping official Go packages that could be
embedded into third party desktop and server applications.

standard methodologies. If you are new to Go, consider reading its [getting started guides][go-guide] first.*

## Quick overview
Our reusable Go libraries focus on four main usage areas:
- Simplified client side account management
- Remote node interfacing via different transports
- Contract interactions through auto-generated bindings
- In-process Ethereum, Whisper and Swarm peer-to-peer node
You can watch a quick overview about these in Peter's (@karalabe) talk titled "Import
Geth: Ethereum from Go and beyond", presented at the Ethereum Devcon2 developer conference

## Go packages
The `go-ethereum` library is distributed as a collection of standard Go packages straight
from our GitHub repository. The packages can be used directly via the official Go toolkit,
without needing any third party tools. External dependencies are vendored locally into
`vendor`, ensuring both self-containment as well as code stability. If you reuse
`go-ethereum` in your own project, please follow these best practices and vendor it
yourself too to avoid any accidental API breakages!
The canonical import path for `go-ethereum` is `github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum`, with all

packages residing underneath. Although there are [quite a number][go-ethereum-dir] of
them, you'll only need to care about a limited subset, each of which will be properly
introduced in their relevant section.
