Scot Breitenfeld 05676d1abe Consolidate documentation under docs/ directory (#6310)
* Consolidate documentation under doc/ directory

Move user-facing guides from release_docs/ and doxygen/ into a single
doc/ root. release_docs/ now holds only release artifacts (changelogs,
history, release process, maintainer info).

- git mv release_docs/INSTALL*.md, USING_*.md, README_HPC.md,
  BuildSystemNotes.md, AutotoolsToCMakeOptions.md,
  HDF5_Library_2.0.0_Migration_Guide.md → doc/
- git mv doxygen/ → doc/doxygen/
- Update CMakeLists.txt: HDF5_DOXYGEN_DIR and add_subdirectory path
- Update CMakeInstallation.cmake: all install paths for moved files
- Update bin/make_vers: hardcoded doxygen/ path substitution
- Update doc/doxygen/CMakeLists.txt: EXAMPLES_DIRECTORY and comments
- Update README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, config/README.md,
  release_docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md: links to moved files
- Update doxygen .dox files: release_docs/ URLs for moved guides
- Rewrite release_docs/README.md for narrowed scope

* Add HDF5_DOCS_DIR variable for doc/ root path

Introduce HDF5_DOCS_DIR = \${HDF5_SOURCE_DIR}/doc so that
CMakeInstallation.cmake and future callers reference the doc/
directory symbolically rather than by hardcoded path.
HDF5_DOXYGEN_DIR is now derived from HDF5_DOCS_DIR.

The config directory

Intro

HDF5 can be configured using CMake.

Configuration information for the HDF5 library and tools is specific to the repository folders. Each subdirectory of the project has its own CMake build and test files. Basic library configuration will generally be found in the root's CMakeLists.txt with support for macros and settings in this config directory.

This directory contains a few important things:

  • Support files for optional components (in cmake)
  • Compiler and platform parameters (in flags)
  • Warning files (in *-warnings directories)
  • Toolchain files (in toolchain)
  • Sanitizer files (in sanitizer)
  • Example install scripts (in examples)
  • Installation support files (in install)

CMake is documented in the following files in the docs/ directory:
