Calum Lind 82ecf8a416 [Docs] Reorganise and add sections from wiki
- Change the layout and contents of docs to be better organised and
  follow ideas from: https://www.divio.com/blog/documentation/
- Use markdown for non-technical documents to speed up writing.
- Added new sections and imported documents from Trac wiki.

Build fixes:

- Added a patch to fix recommonmark 0.4 and doc referencing:
    https://github.com/rtfd/recommonmark/issues/93
- Set docs build in tox to Py2.7 since there are problems with autodoc
  mocking multiple inheritance on Python 3 resulting in metaclass errors.
- Supressed warning about `modules.rst` not in the toctree by creating
  a static `modules.rst` with `:orphan:` file directive and add to git.
  Also skip creating this toc file with sphinx-apidoc in setup and tox.
- Simplified finding exported RPC and JSON API methods by adding an
  autodoc custom class directive. Removed unneeded __rpcapi.py.

# Setup tutorial for Deluge development
The aim of this tutorial is to download the source code and setup an
environment to enable development work on Deluge.
## Pre-requisites
To build and run the Deluge applications they depends on tools and libraries as
listed in DEPENDS.md.
Almost all of the Python packages dependencies will be installed using pip but
there are some packages or libraries that are required to be installed to the
system.
### Ubuntu
#### Build tools
sudo apt install git intltool closure-compiler
pip install --user tox tox-venv
#### Runtime libraries and tools
sudo apt install python-libtorrent python-geoip python-dbus python-glade2 \
librsvg2-common xdg-utils python-appindicator python-notify python-pygame
## Setup development environment
### Clone Deluge git repository
Download the latest git code to local folder.
git clone git://deluge-torrent.org/deluge.git
cd deluge
### Create Python virtual environment
Creation of a [Python virtual environment] keeps the development isolated
and easier to maintain and tox has an option to make this process easier:
tox -e denv3
Activate virtual environment:
source .venv/bin/activate
Deluge will be installed by tox in _develop_ mode which creates links back
to source code so that changes will be reflected immediately without repeated
installation. Check it is installed with:
(.venv) $ deluge --version
deluge-gtk 2.0.0b2.dev149
libtorrent: 1.1.9.0
Python: 2.7.12
OS: Linux Ubuntu 16.04 xenial
### Setup pre-commit hook
Using [pre-commit] ensures submitted code is checked for quality when
creating git commits.
(.venv) $ pre-commit install
You are now ready to start playing with the source code.
