Move Bazel docs into versioned directory.
* Move all Bazel docs (excluding main page, search page, and blog) into versions/master directory. * Replace all original pages with redirects. * Add Jekyll config with default_version setting to specify the default version to redirect docs to. * Add Jekyll config with version_prefix setting specific to pages under each version directory. * Update layouts to generate links to pages for the same version with the version_prefix. * Update Blaze release script to copy docs from third_party/bazel/site/versions/master Changes to follow this CL: * Separate navigation from layouts so that navigation can be versioned as well. * Add tool for cutting a release of Bazel docs and copies them into a new version directory. Bug: #579 -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=128510319

-Building Bazel on Windows
-=========================
-
-Windows support is highly experimental. Known issues are [marked with
-label "Windows"](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AWindows)
-on github issues.
-
-We currently support only 64 bit Windows 7 or higher and we can only compile
-msys2 binaries.
-
-To bootstrap Bazel on Windows, you will need:
-
-* Java JDK 8 or later
-* Visual Studio (Community Edition is okay, only `CL.EXE` is needed)
-* [msys2](https://msys2.github.io/) (need to be installed at
- ``C:\tools\msys64\``).
-* Several msys2 packages. Use the ``pacman`` command to install them:
- ``pacman -S gcc git curl zip unzip zlib-devel``
-
-To build Bazel:
-
-* Open the msys2 shell.
-* Clone the Bazel git repository as normal.
-* Set the environment variables:
-
-```bash
-export JAVA_HOME="$(ls -d C:/Program\ Files/Java/jdk* | sort | tail -n 1)"
-export BAZEL_SH=c:/tools/msys64/usr/bin/bash.exe
-```
-
-* Run ``compile.sh`` in Bazel directory.
-* If all works fine, bazel will be built at ``output\bazel.exe``.
