Description

Apache infra is deprecating (and soon removing) the SVN repo that we used to use for storing documentation that is hosted via the Solr website.

The new repo (https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/sites/solr) is still mounted to Apache hosts, and we will be able to use it similarly, however Solr is now split from lucene in the new repo and we have redisinged the layout to make the htaccess rules easier.

The release wizard and release scripts need to be updated to use this new SVN repo, and paths within the repository.

The directory structure is now (under the repo and path linked above):

• guide/<version> (ref guide)
• docs/<version> (javadocs)

We can also add additional subdirectories here for different content, such as possibly hosting the Solr Operator CRDs and Helm Charts in the future. But that can be a different discussion. Those directories should be named identical to the path in the website so the adoption of htaccess rules to makes them visible in the website stays easy to maintain (it's a single regular expression). The above subversion URL matches 1:1 the website root directory.
