 We really should reformat our developer documentation.

 * https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/contents.html
   * Generated from docs/userguide in git
   * Each language packed into haiku_userguide_XX hpkgs
   * "User Guide" Icon installed on desktop
 * https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/
   * Generated from docs/user in git
   * URL "api"
   * Called "Haiku Book" (aka like BeBook)
   * Not packaged, only on www.haiku-os.org.

 Ideally, I think we should make the following changes:

 1) Move code to docs/developerguide
 2) Package like userguide (haiku_developerguide*.hpkg)
 3) Add an icon to the desktop "Developer Guide"
 4) Move document to haiku-os.org/docs/developerguide (and make  /docs/api
 a redirect)


 I honestly didn't even know where the developerguide lived given the odd /
 inconsistent naming within our sources.
