AFAIK OTP releases are the recomended way of installing, but

  * People seem unaware of that and use from source installations because they use the guide with the name of their distro
  * People don't know what OTP releases are or what it means

I added a warning on all installation-from-source guides and added the same explanation on the two OTP pages (the miigration to OTP and installing OTP)

Backport of: !3485

Can't be in /opt/pleroma/bin and then call ./bin/pleroma_ctl :)

Removed a command that references "pleroma.env". This file does not seem to be generated at any point during the install, and not having it does not stop the instance from working, as far as I can tell.

Move query plan mode setting from OTP installation guide and try
to explain what it does.

* I cretaed a folder 'development'
* I split up the file dev.md into three parts and moved it to this folder
  * index.md
  * authentication_authorization.md
  * mrf.md
* I also moved ap_extensions.md
* I created a new file setting_up_pleroma_dev.md

It's libmagic-dev in both Ubuntu and Debian.

While taking a final look at instance.gen before releasing I noticed
that the release_env task outputs messages in broken english. Upon
further inspection it seems to have even more severe issues which, in
my opinion, warrant it's at least temporary removal:
- We do not explain what it actually does, anywhere. Neither the task
 docs nor instance.gen, nor installation instructions.
- It does not respect FHS on OTP releases (uses /opt/pleroma/config even
 though we store the config in /etc/pleroma/config.exs).
- It doesn't work on OTP releases, which is the main reason it exists.
Neither systemd nor openrc service files for OTP include it.
- It is not mentioned in install guides other than the ones for Debian
and OTP releases.

Adjusted MediaProxyControllerTest to gracefully fail on missing dependencies. Installation docs update.
Added ffmpeg/imagemagick checks to launch checks (if media preview proxy is enabled). Added documentation on installing optional media / graphics packages (imagemagick, ffmpeg, exiftool).

Added cmake

Since python doesn't have a way to lock deps for a particlar project
by default, I didn't bother with it. This resulted in mkdocs updating at
some point, bringing a breaking change to how tabs are declared and
broken tabs on docs-develop.pleroma.social. I've learned my lesson
and locked deps with pipenv in docs!5. This MR updates Pleroma
docs to use the new tab style, fortunately my editor did most of it.

Closes #2045

Removed the reference to niaa
