[libc][docs] Move links to internal developer guides out of the main side bar.
The links are all now from a "Developer Guides" page which is linked from the main side bar.

+The libc code style
+===================
+
+For the large part, the libc project follows the general `coding standards of
+the LLVM project <https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html>`_. The libc
+project differs from that standard with respect to the naming style. The
+differences are as follows:
+
+#. **Non-const variables** - This includes function arguments, struct and
+ class data members, non-const globals and local variables. They all use the
+ ``snake_case`` style.
+#. **const and constexpr variables** - They use the capitlized
+ ``SNAKE_CASE`` irrespective of whether they are local or global.
+#. **Function and methods** - They use the ``snake_case`` style like the
+ non-const variables.
+#. **Internal type names** - These are types which are interal to the libc
+ implementation. They use the `CaptilizedCamelCase` style.
+#. **Public names** - These are the names as prescribed by the standards and
+ will follow the style as prescribed by the standards.
