All contribution and development documentation should live in GitHub #14542

Right now, we have development and contribution documentation both on our website and GitHub. I think it makes sense to consolidate these to GitHub and allow our website to be only for Checkstyle usage. To be clear, i am proposing that we move the entire "Developers" section to GitHub.

This has several advantages:

  1. Code blocks are rendered more clearly in markdown
  2. Markdown supports different types of syntax highlighting
  3. Code blocks are easily copy-pasted

I really can't think of any disadvantages for this. Personally, I find markdown much easier to read and much prefer markdown for developer documentation due to it's simple formatting.

If we move forward with this issue, we should also remove the IDE setup stuff from the wiki since it will now live in GitHub (we should probably just do this anyway now).
