[doc] add chapter on the purpose of (git) commits (#4729)
Chapter on the purpose of (git) commits

The commits and their messages are elementary for the traceability of changes
and are unfortunately still too often given too little attention.

It therefore seems necessary to dedicate a chapter to this topic in the context
of development.

5720844fcd [doc] rearranges Settings & Engines docs for better readability
We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years.  However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.

This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.

To review new ordered docs::

   make docs.clean docs.live

e697d78d5a [mod] make docs-live - remove --port option from sphinx-autobuild
Setting port fixed to 8080 has drawbacks when this port is already in use from
another application [1].  Removing this option from the command line offers the
use of the sphinx-autobuild defaults which are much more flexible [2].

Normalize reST sources with best practice and KISS in mind.

to name a few points:

- simplify reST tables
- make use of ``literal`` markup for monospace rendering
- fix code-blocks for better rendering in HTML
- normalize section header markup
- limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters
- add option -H to the sudo command used in code blocks
- drop useless indentation of lists
- ...
