Summary:
Thanks for submitting a PR! Please read these instructions carefully:
- [x ] Explain the **motivation** for making this change.

The section on changing ports is missing a key step for folks wishing to run on device
What existing problem does the pull request solve?
Changing packager port to something other than 8081 also requires the react native xcode project file to be updated in order to be able to build and run on device. The section on changing ports currently does not address this. See https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/10715#issuecomment-258082512.
Documentation update, no tests required.
A good test plan has the exact commands you ran and their output, provides screenshots or videos if the pull request changes UI or updates the website. See [What is a Test Plan?][1] to learn more.
If you have added code that should be tested, add tests.
Sign the [CLA][2], if you haven't already.
Small pull requests are much easier to review and more likely to get merged. Make sure the PR does only one thing, otherwise please split it.
Make sure all **tests pass** on both [Travis][3] and [Circle CI][4]. PRs that break tests are unlikely to be merged.
For more info, see the ["Pull Requests"][5] section of our "Contributing" guidelines.

Summary:
The option to change a port is no longer displayed in the dev menu.
We don't need to call out specific apps that use port 8081.
People can now use React DevTools to debug on Chrome.

Thanks for submitting a pull request! Please provide enough information so that others can review your pull request:
> **Unless you are a React Native release maintainer and cherry-picking an *existing* commit into a current release, ensure your pull request is targeting the `master` React Native branch.**
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
Prefer **small pull requests**. These are much easier to review and more likely to get merged. Make sure the PR does only one thing, otherwise please split it.
**Test plan (required)**
Demonstrate the code is solid. Example: The exact commands you ran and their output, screenshots / videos if the pull request changes UI.
Make sure tests pass on both Travis and Circle CI.
**Code formatting**
Look around. Match the style of the rest of the codebase. See also

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
