Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: index: Minor re-arrangement and improvements

* It seems odd that a develper is forced to look at the licensing rules
  even before they get to the doc or coding guide.
  This belongs under the "Working with the development community" / "All
  development docs" page where it does reside even today.
* Rearrange the section for Internal API manuals to go lower because
  generally one would want to look at the tools and processes and admin
  guide pages first and then move onto something deeper like the API
  manuals.
* Reword the Dev tools section and title to something a bit more suitable.
