New home for all XenForo documentation

Although we still have a little way to go before our vision is fully complete, the first phase of our documentation overhaul is now live!

Previously our manual and developer documentation were stored in two separate sites, powered by MkDocs, and our REST API endpoint documentation was in a page node, right here on this forum!

Now all of the documentation is in one place, docs.xenforo.com, and you can navigate between the Manual, Developers and API documentation from the top navigation.

It now includes improved search powered by Algolia and features much improved REST API documentation including code samples for many common languages.

For the most part the content remains the same as it was, but in the future we will be reorganising, rewriting and extending our documentation to ensure it becomes a valuable resource for new and old customers alike.

All of our documentation is now fully open source (including the manual) and hosted on GitHub! We appreciate the help so far from contributions, especially kind folks such as @QuackieMackie, towards extending the developer documentation. If you have spotted something missing, outdated, or just in need of any sort of improvement, post an Issue or submit a Pull Request and we'll be excited to get it merged.

@Chris D could you update the link in the development help forum to point to the new API docs? The new docs page is a huge improvement, thank you!

Let me apologize to the rest of the community for delaying XF 2.4/3.0 for having the XF staff launch a major investigation all day because I consistently got redirected to the old docs page due to my browser aggressively caching the redirect. Shame on me.

I think this is great, because then if anyone wants to make any edits (spelling errors, etc) they can just fork the repo, then make a PR.
