Evan Rusackas 0fb7fc2721 docs: bifurcate documentation into user, admin, and developer sections
Major restructuring of documentation to separate concerns:

**New Structure:**
- `/docs/` - User-facing docs (intro, quickstart, databases, using-superset, faq)
- `/admin-docs/` - Administrator docs (installation, configuration, security)
- `/developer-docs/` - Developer docs (contributing, extensions, guidelines, testing)

**Changes:**
- Move installation, configuration, and security docs to admin_docs/
- Move contributing, extensions, guidelines, and testing to developer_docs/
- Rename developer_portal to developer_docs (with underscore to hyphen in URL)
- Add sidebarAdminDocs.js for admin documentation navigation
- Update versions-config.json with new doc sections
- Update docusaurus.config.ts with new plugins and redirects
- Update internal links in versioned docs (6.0.0) to use new paths
- Keep user-facing content (databases, using-superset, faq) in main docs

This separation makes it clearer which documentation is relevant for:
- End users exploring and visualizing data
- Administrators deploying and configuring Superset
- Developers contributing to or extending Superset

# Logging
## Event Logging
Superset by default logs special action events in its internal database (DBEventLogger). These logs can be accessed
on the UI by navigating to **Security > Action Log**. You can freely customize these logs by
implementing your own event log class.
**When custom log class is enabled DBEventLogger is disabled and logs
stop being populated in UI logs view.**
To achieve both, custom log class should extend built-in DBEventLogger log class.
Here's an example of a simple JSON-to-stdout class:
```python
def log(self, user_id, action, *args, **kwargs):
records = kwargs.get('records', list())
dashboard_id = kwargs.get('dashboard_id')
slice_id = kwargs.get('slice_id')
duration_ms = kwargs.get('duration_ms')
referrer = kwargs.get('referrer')
for record in records:
log = dict(
action=action,
json=record,
dashboard_id=dashboard_id,
slice_id=slice_id,
duration_ms=duration_ms,
referrer=referrer,
user_id=user_id
)
print(json.dumps(log))
```
End by updating your config to pass in an instance of the logger you want to use:
```
EVENT_LOGGER = JSONStdOutEventLogger()
```
## StatsD Logging
Superset can be configured to log events to [StatsD](https://github.com/statsd/statsd)
if desired. Most endpoints hit are logged as
well as key events like query start and end in SQL Lab.
To setup StatsD logging, its a matter of configuring the logger in your `superset_config.py`.
If not already present, you need to ensure that the `statsd`-package is installed in Superset's python environment.
```python
from superset.stats_logger import StatsdStatsLogger
STATS_LOGGER = StatsdStatsLogger(host='localhost', port=8125, prefix='superset')
```
Note that its also possible to implement your own logger by deriving
`superset.stats_logger.BaseStatsLogger`.
