Summary:
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
I had tried fixing a broken link in a previous commit (#11453). My commit was merged, but it did not resolve the underlying problem. I have looked into how links should be formed for the docs and have fixed the original problem as well as updated all other links to be consistent.
Previous link formats:
- /docs/sample.html <-- broken link
- sample.html <-- broken link
- https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/sample.html <-- works
- /react-native/docs/sample.html <-- works
- docs/sample.html <-- works (permalink format)
This PR updates all links to the permalink format.
**Test plan (required)**
I ran the website locally and manually tested half of the links in each category. They all worked.
```
$ cd website
$ npm install && npm start
```

Summary:
I was running RN 0.31 on ArchLinux (kernel 4.7), and "react-native start"
was refusing to run on the default (and sometimes required, as I have
noticed) port. I tried executing the suggested lsof command, but that did not
work. Somewhere I found the lsof command I include in this commit, and that
worked (it was a node.js process). So I'm including it, since I found it
helpful.

Summary:
Two of the known issues have been moved to the issue tracker:
* #8315
* #8316
Others have been moved into more appropriate locations, such as the `TextInput` issue to the API doc itself, and the React debugging issue to the Debugging doc.
The Android-specific compatibility concerns have been dropped entirely as it does not seem like people would find these in the docs.

Summary:
The Getting Started guide is one of the first documents a new user will encounter. This pull request aims to minimize the amount of time it takes to get a React Native app up and running.
* The original section title, "Required prerequisites", is redundant. "Installing React Native" is a better description of what this section is about.
* Detailed installation instructions for each of the required tools are delegated to the first party instructions where available.
* If the installation instructions already take care of installing the latest version, there's no need to warn the user about the minimum required version.
* Assume the user is familiar with Homebrew or Chocolatey, and defer installation instructions to the package manager's website. The installation and explanation of what a package manager is is out of scope within this document.
* Link to Node.js package manager instructions and let savvy Linux users use the pack
