Description

Per discussion on HBASE-27096, spotless configuration is a bit ham-handed. We can simplify its maintenance by ignoring entirely the .idea directory. Since committing project files there is not workable at the moment, the only functionality present there is checkstyle-idea.xml. Let's move that to dev-support and update the book accordingly.
