Nick Fagerlund 6494591ec1 website: Remove extra copy of "Getting Started", update links
This guide now lives at:

- https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform#getting-started

...and terraform.io has been redirecting to there for quite a while. This commit
removes the extra copy so that the text of the two versions doesn't drift, and
updates existing links to point to the new location.

Nick Fagerlund ac45e43fda website: Finish moving "writing custom providers" to /docs/extend/
This document was previously copied to the "Extending Terraform" section (in the
terraform-website repo), and the old URL was redirected so that the copy in
/guides can no longer be reached on the website. But the old copy of the file
remained, and now it runs the risk of confusing contributors, since the copy in
terraform-website/.../docs/extend is the more up-to-date version.

website: Fix plugin path on Windows (#19423)
...and one other reference to the application data directory.

Context:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/shell/knownfolderid#folderid_roamingappdata

In newer Windows versions, the folder accessible as `%APPDATA%` (and via various
APIs) is actually at something like "documents and settings\user\application
data\roaming", while earlier versions omit the "\roaming" part of the path. This
means you can confuse people by referring to the "application data" directory by
its human name, because "roaming" is the real application data directory, but it
looks like a subdirectory of "application data".

Thus, it's less confusing to just use the `%APPDATA%` variable, with the added
benefit that you can copy and paste the path and it'll just work in most places.

website: Reconcile docs about plugin discovery and downloading (#18973)
website: Reconcile docs about plugin discovery and downloading

I'm attempting to keep things simple for normal users while making sure we've
got the full behavior written down somewhere for plugin developers.

This commit doesn't stand alone; it's paired with a commit in the
terraform-website repo, to deal with some related content in the "extend"
section.

Martin Atkins f19bf25945 website: don't recommend "providers" block in CLI config
This mechanism for configuring plugins is now deprecated, since it's not
capable of declaring plugin versions. Instead, we recommend just placing
plugins into a particular directory, which is now documented on the
main providers documentation page and linked from the more detailed docs
on plugins in general.

Nick Fagerlund 8c7bfde292 Docs: Fix broken links and a broken example
These links were casualties of the core/provider split. There was also
an example that suggested cloning a subdirectory of a git repo.

Martin Atkins c57dbebe84 documentation: explain provider dev environment setup
The intent here is just to introduce some initial docs on our recommended
way to develop plugins in the same GOPATH as Terraform itself. The
documentation in this area needs some more fundamental rework as it is
rather outdated and mis-organized, but that's outside the scope of what
this change is trying to achieve.

Martin Atkins 7ed70bb00e website: new filesystem layout for core/provider split
