Introduce a tools section for platform page, releases page, and a news section for changelog, OCaml Planet and Newsletters

[sabine]

I propose to restructure the site such that there is a dedicated Tools section in the top level navigation.

This patch

• restructures the site to introduce a "Tools" section which currently contains the Platform Tools page and the Compiler Releases page.
• splits the Platform section that previously existed in the Learn area into a part that lives in the new Tools section (the Platform page, as well as the accompanying non-learning-related documents), and the tutorials which stay within the Learn area. To achieve this, a new data/ kind tool_page has been added.
• adds text on the Platform page to give more context about the lifecycle of the Platform Tools and moves the video to the bottom of the page
• as a consequence of this restructuring, the non-learning-related Platform Tools documents no longer show up in the search results of the Learn area search
• in the Platform section of the Learn area, we now use categories to separate the different tutorials by topic, instead of listing them all under "Best Practices"
• Compiler Releases and Platform Tools pages are now discoverable through the top level navigation
• Redirects for the moved Platform pages are set up
• Changelog, OCaml Planet, and Newsletters page now live under a "News" area
• Resolves Documenting the compiler release cycle? #1985 by adding a new page "The Compiler Release Cycle"

Additional remark:

This could also be the place where a "Compiler" page could be introduced that explains the different targets and the tiers, and such.

Looks like a very clear improvement to me!

The only nitpick I have is to keep the Playground/Play terminology, as I suspect the OCaml Playground has become something that people talk about in those terms.

Regarding the https://ocaml.org/blog page, you are removing the news thing (on the right). Where is this content going?

[sabine]

This is at the Newsletters subnav.

I think we could use a news overview page that provides a window into all the feeds the site has.

@tmattio "Play" will fit, but "Playground" takes to much space unless we can make the "Get Started" button smaller.

Why not “Start” and “Play” ?

News also includes stuff like this:

• https://ocaml.org/news/invitation-to-contribute
• https://ocaml.org/news/sigplan_announcement
• https://ocaml.org/news/2023-05-30-emissions-monitoring

Does it fit into “Newsletters”?

I think it does.

I'm merging because I received no pushback in conversations I had about this, and because it will enable us to place a banner or other announcement for the Dune Developer Preview in a location that can be discovered from the main navbar.

Further refinement / rearrangement is still possible.
