081f914692 doc/user: expand the explanations on how to submit a merge request
I keep answering this in bug reports, much easier to just have a link to
copy/paste.

63ac196def Improve git commit section
It wasn't clear about the Signed-of-by requirements, so this has been
improved with an example, and clarifies that it is a requirement, not
optional.

e5a6200a8e Small improvements to contributing for accessibility.
This makes a small number of changes that can help improve onboarding
and diversity of contributors. Key to point out is that the code of
conduct is now one of the first items, to highlight the community
standards (rather than being at the bottom where it can be
overlooked). The use of the work "hack" often is off putting to
many people, so replaced with "work". Additionally, changed
the introduction to highlight a desire to be inclusive.

A follow up you probably could do, is have a "how to prepare the
development environment" aka "what depenedencies do I need for
my distro to build the project.

Much of this has come from experience working with outreach/diversity
experts, and my own experience on

50837e6ff2 doc/user: expand the Contributing document
This is mostly taken from the Weston Contributing.md document.
Main changes from there are:
- more detailed step-by-step on how to create a MR
- commit history/messages in two sections
- s/Weston/libinput/

I skipped the Review/Commit Rights sections for now until there's some demand
for it. Same with the Licensing/Stabilising for releases sections.

cbd4f35442 dox: switch to sphinx for the user-visible documentation
This is a large commit because it's difficult to split this up and we don't
care about bisecting here anyway.

doxygen is going to produce the API documentation only
sphinx is going to produce the prose user (and a bit of developer) documentation.

The source split is doc/api and doc/user.

Steps performed:
- run the doxygen-to-sphinx.sh script to convert all .dox sources to .rst
- manually fixed the .rst to render correctly
- add a few extra .rst documents to generate the right hierarchy
- hook up sphinx-build in meson
- add a new @mainpage for doxygen more aimed at developers

For the build directory:
- sphinx produces /Documentation
- doxygen now produces /api/

These need to be manually combined in the wayland-web repo, meson doesn't
support subdirectories as output paths within the build dir and the
documentation doesn't need to be installed anywhere.
