chore(docs): consolidate the developer resource files into a docs/ directory (#29266)
Start your review here 👉
[docs/README.md](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/FW-6107/docs/README.md)
## What is the current behavior?
Documentation files with information on how to contribute, component
implementations, testing, etc. are scattered throughout various folders
in this repository.
## What is the new behavior?
Consolidates the documentation files into a root `docs/` directory for
easier discovery and organization.

**Migrates the following:**
| Previous Location | New Location |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- |
----------------------------------------- |
| `.github/COMPONENT-GUIDE.md` | `docs/component-guide.md` |
| `.github/CONTRIBUTING.md` | `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` |
| `core/scripts/README.md` | `docs/core/testing/preview-changes.md` |
| `core/src/utils/test/playwright/docs/api.md` |
`docs/core/testing/api.md` |
| `core/src/utils/test/playwright/docs/best-practices.md` |
`docs/core/testing/best-practices.md` |
| `core/src/utils/test/playwright/docs/README.md` |
`docs/core/testing/README.md` |
| `core/src/utils/test/playwright/docs/usage-instructions.md` |

| `packages/angular/test/README.md` | `docs/angular/testing.md` |
| `packages/react-router/test/README.md` |

| `packages/react/test/README.md` | `docs/react/testing.md` |
| `packages/react/test/base/README.md` | `docs/react/testing.md` |
| `packages/vue/test/README.md` | `docs/vue/testing.md` |
**Adds the following:**
| File | Description |
| ----------------------------- |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| `docs/sass-guidelines.md` | Sass Variable guidelines taken from
`ionic-framework-design-documents` |
| `docs/README.md` | Entry file that should link to all other files |
| `docs/_config.yml` | Config file for use with GitHub pages |
| `docs/core/README.md` | Description of core, links to contributing and
testing |
| `docs/angular/README.md` | Description of angular, links to
contributing and testing |
| `docs/react/README.md` | Description of react, links to contributing
and testing |
| `docs/react-router/README.md` | Description of react-router, links to
contributing and testing |
| `docs/vue/README.md` | Description of vue, links to contributing and
testing |
| `docs/vue-router/README.md` | Description of vue-router, links to
contributing and testing |
| `docs/vue-router/testing.md` | Testing file for vue-router, populated
from vue-router's main README |
**Does not** add any files for `angular-server`. This is because the
README is essentially empty and there is no testing in that directory. I
can add blank files if we want to have something to add to later.
**Does not** migrate the content of the packages' root `README.md`
files. These files are used for their npm package descriptions so we
should not edit them.
## Hosting Documentation
We can (and should) host these files using GitHub Pages. I have
duplicated them in a personal repository to see how this would look:
[docs-consolidation](https://brandyscarney.github.io/docs-consolidation/).
Doing so will require some formatting fixes (see [Sass
Guidelines](https://brandyscarney.github.io/docs-consolidation/sass-guidelines.html#-reusable-values))
so I did not publish them now but we can easily enable GitHub pages by
toggling a setting in this repository.
## Other information
- Verify that no documentation files were missed in the migration
- You can use these commands to search for `*.md` files in a directory:
- `find core/src -type f -name "*.md" -print`
- `find packages/angular -type f -name "*.md" -not -path
"**/node_modules/*" -print`
- I did add some redirect links in some of the existing markdown files
so they might still exist for that reason
- We should probably break up the contributing + component guide
documentation into smaller files, such as including best practices, but
I wanted to get everything in the same place first
- The contributing has sections on each of the packages that we could
move to that package's docs folder:

Ionic Framework is an open source app development toolkit for building modern, fast, top-quality cross-platform native and Progressive Web Apps from a single codebase with JavaScript and the Web.
It is based on <a href="https://www.webcomponents.org/introduction">Web Components</a>, which enables significant performance, usability, and feature improvements alongside support for popular web frameworks like <a href="https://angular.io/">Angular</a>, <a href="https://reactjs.com/">React</a>, and <a href="https://vuejs.org/">Vue</a>.
