Ricky Stewart e6fd6a6aa7 Bug 1667436 - Merge content of `docs/setup/mach.rst` into existing documentation r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,mhentges DONTBUILD
This document was imported from MDN and contained very outdated/incorrect information, and much of the information here is duplicated from the existing `mach` documentation. For the little content that isn't already expressed in the existing documentation in a better way, merge it into `python/mach/docs`.

The unique content is mainly in the FAQ, so I added a new page for that.

mach
====

Mach (German for *do*) is a generic command dispatcher for the command
line.

To use mach, you install the mach core (a Python package), create an
executable *driver* script (named whatever you want), and write mach
commands. When the *driver* is executed, mach dispatches to the
requested command handler automatically.
