Technical communications/Mobile documentation consolidation

The mobile team would like to consolidate/centralize their documentation (currently split between meta and mediawiki.org) on mediawiki.org

This would also be an opportunity to better organize the content, update outdated pages and retire obsolete ones.

Note: There are currently plans to move project documentation to wikitech, but since there isn't a timeline yet (or even consensus), it makes sense to proceed with this centralization and not wait for a move to wikitech (unless the move to wikitech is uncontroversial and can happen quickly enough).

Proposed organization edit

Everything is imported under Wikimedia Mobile engineering/imported. Done
The pages are then moved under Wikimedia Mobile engineering, Wikimedia Apps or a more specific page. Done
The content of m:Mobile is merged into Wikimedia Mobile engineering, and the various facets are highlighed (What is it, Mobile web, Apps & Partners)

We can use LST to avoid duplicating content, while still being able to present it differently (example).
