Remove metapackage-specific parts of documentation #1788

Closed jakelishman closed 11 months ago

jakelishman commented 11 months ago

Summary

This removes many sections of the documentation that refer to the metapackage as a whole, the elements of the metapackage, or refer to Terra as Terra. This is intended to be in line with the new branding decisions around the Qiskit project.

With the current community management structure still a little up in the air, we are (at least temporarily) removing the repository-decision flowchart from the documentation, since this documentation will primarily be for Qiskit Terra. The contributor flowchart, or something similar, may end up on the landing pages of the Ecosystem documentation, or another community hub.

Details and comments

I've left references to "Terra" in place, because those should still logically be removed as part of the general migration in naming within the Terra repository. I've also left the build processes in place that git clone Terra and the tutorials; we need those to continue having a working docs build in this repo. They'll get modified as these files get merge to Terra as well, but they need to stay alive here.

One of the notable removals is the API docs links to Aer and IBMQ from the main page, since as of the deployed metapackage version (0.44), those are no longer part of the metapackage.

Fix #1787. Fix #1778 - mostly; the version logic is way stripped down, and will now automatically work on Terra at least as much as we need when the files are merged. Fix #1667 Fix #1643
