2c31e5b9bc po: update docs to refer to Weblate instead of Zanata
The old information about managing PO files was outdated, as we're
managing files in a different way with Weblate. This also introduces a
badge showing the translation progress across languages.

871f231ea0 docs: point to GitLab as the primary git hosting
We still point to git repositories hosted on libvirt.org in various
places. Replace the links to their gitlab.com equivalents.

Note that GitLab is trying to be smart here and
  https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt
redirects to
  https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt.git
when doing a 'git clone' and vice-versa when visiting from the
browser, so I only kept the .git suffix in places that explicitly
mentioned 'git clone'.

842d3712ed docs: Drop glib-adoption.rst
It's been more than six months since we adopted GLib and we've
been pretty aggressive at replacing our homegrown APIs with more
standard ones, so by now most of the symbols mentioned in this
document haven't been around for quite a long time already.

da05322f0c docs: Update hacking.rst
This organizes the existing contents into sections, tweaks some parts
a bit and adds links to the pages where the contents that were ripped
out of hacking.rst now live, either inline or in the catch-all "further
reading" section depending on what makes more sense.

The result is that it's now possible to consume this page, which is
the entry point for new contributors, in just a few minutes, and then
drill down further based on factors such as the familiarity with the
open source development model or mail-based workflows.

435eff1447 docs: Add best-practices.rst
These guidelines should already be familiar to people who have
contributed to other open source projects, so it doesn't make much
sense for them to be so prominent. Move them to a separate page.

a50a83b340 docs: Add submitting-patches.rst
This is a relatively lengthy part with lots of details, which many
people who are familiar with a mail-based development workflow will
already know and which will become obsolete once we move to GitLab.
Move the contents to a separate page.

936d598b89 docs: Add advanced-tests.rst
This part contains a lot of useful tips, but presenting all of them
at the same time obfuscated the central message which is, 'make check'
and 'make syntax-check' must pass after each patch in a series. Let's
move them to a separate page.

319004da2e docs: Add committer-guidelines.rst
While it's good to have these rules written down for reference, they
apply exclusively to committers, who by definition are familiar with
the project and probably work on it daily, so there's no need to have
them front and center when a separate page will do.

94153862ab docs: Add programming-languages.rst
Most new contributors are probably going to modify existing code rather
than introducing all-new programs and scripts, and even when the latter
happen they'll hopefully get a feel for which programming languages are
considered acceptable for the project by looking at what's already in
the repo. Make this part less prominent by moving it to a separate page.

5155f6f4b1 docs: Add coding-style.rst
This part represents the biggest chunk of the existing hacking.rst, and
despite that its utility is very limited because 'make syntax-check'
already guarantees most of the rules are followed over time.

Until the glorious day we finally codify our coding style completely
into a configuration for a tool such as clang-format and thus no longer
need a plain English description of it, move this part to a separate
page.
