Description

The [documentation for setting up IntelliJ](https://errorprone.info/docs/installation#intellij-idea) is out of date.

It says that "To enable Error Prone, choose Settings | Compiler | Java Compiler | Use compiler: Javac with error-prone". There now is a new root level: "**Build, Execution, Compiler** | Compiler | Java Compiler | Use compiler: Javac with error-prone".

I couldn't find the "Use external build" setting that's supposedly is in "Build, Execution, Compiler | Compiler" (again, the new root level is missing).

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 2022.3.3 (Ultimate Edition) on macOS 13.2.1 (Ventura) with a Maven project and the latest version of the Error Prone plugin.
