[issue12747] Move devguide into cpython repo

[Nick Coghlan]

I'd say the main reason the dev guide is in a separate repo is the historical one (i.e. Brett was working on it as a separate repo prior to the hg migration and we never merged it).

However, the version independent nature of the material is the main argument against merging it into the Docs tree - it's a document about the development community around CPython, not a document about CPython itself.

Personally, I'm happy with the resolution in the python-dev thread - tagging the test.support docs to keep them out of indices and search results, while leaving the dev guide in a separate version independent repo.
