Improve installation documentation

[Barry Warsaw]

This page:

http://packages.python.org/mailman/src/mailman/docs/START.html

describes how to install, configure, and start Mailman 3. It's a bit sparse and out-of-date. For example, it doesn't describe all the locations that mailman.cfg is search for. It also doesn't describe installing and running mm3 in a virtualenv. This would make a nice bite-sized bug for someone wanting to contribution to Mailman.

Some work (done independently, so not addressing either of the specific complaints above, though) is available in

lp:~stephen-xemacs/mailman/beta1-docs

Specifically it adds some documentation of two experimental web UIs, one the docs written by Florian Fuchs for the Admin UI installation, and the other the Hyperkitty archive UI (I think these notes are by Toshio Kuratomi).

Thanks for this branch! It looks great and I'm merging it. Just a few minor
style points.

I like double-equal signs at the top level header, e.g.

=====================================
Set Up the Archive UI in Five Minutes
=====================================

Second level headers use single equals, e.g.

Requirements
============

I also fixed a few minor capitalizations and spellings. I also changed things
to use the "Postorius" term for the web ui. I also corrected and moderately
rewrote a few things in START.rst; please take a look.

BTW, is it "hyperkitty" or "HyperKitty" or "Hyperkitty"? We seem to be a
little inconsistent with the spelling (but I'm not sure how to fix it ;).

I also added some of the missing links.

Thanks again for your contribution!

The requirement on Ubuntu that you need python-dev packages in order to build Mailman 3 should be added as well

I need to learn how to install Mailman anyway, so this is a good bug for me to try working on. Are there any other branches or references I should look to for topics or material to include? Maybe lp:~andrea-crotti-0/mailman/readthedocs ?
