a77c0831e7 docs: rename "helpers" to "supporting classes"
Also add a summary to the page -- unfortunately getting a standard
TOC would require creating a rst page for each class.

21ce5e2915 Hide to_dict()/from_dict()
These are helpers for serialization implementers, not useful for
Metadata API users.

217bd9dbc7 Separate API documentation pages
This makes the individual pages easier to read.

Use some autodoc configuration so we can have less config
in the automodule/autoclass declarations.

868afda420 docs: Change object attribute doc style
Situation before
* constructor args are not documented
* object attributes are documented
* sphinx cannot show object attribute type annotations
* attribute docs take a lot of vertical space

Now:
* constructor args are documented
* sphinx can show annotated types of constructor args
* class docstring now explains the attributes are the same as
  constructor args (and attributes are not explicitly documented)

docs: Move the sphinx root to docs/
This allows using existing documentation in the published documentation
without
* moving the existing docs (which would break external links)
* tricks like symlinks that create issues with relative links

Put the api reference files into a subdirectory to avoid polluting the
main docs/ directory.

Include "Installation" and "Instructions for Contributors" in the
published documentation.
