Description

See https://github.com/openedx/docs.openedx.org/issues/216 for more context.

Create a cookiecutter to generate the docs/ folder of an openedx repo based on the current best-practice recommendations.

Update the Sphinx How-To created in https://github.com/openedx/docs.openedx.org/pull/239 to use the cookiecutter instead of creating everything by hand.

Research direction

Read issue 216 for the best-practice context, then inspect the existing docs/ structure and the Sphinx How-To from pull request 239. Create a cookiecutter that generates the recommended docs/ folder, and update that How-To to use it instead of manual setup; done means both the template and instructions are usable.
