1289709 - Simplify Treeherder dev setup docs about how to ingest data

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect, P3)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

Now that Treeherder no longer submits to its own API we can simplify the docs:

1) Things like "Ensure the django runserver or gunicorn instance is running first" are no longer needed

2) We probably don't need to discourage use of runserver, since "However it can consume too much memory when under load (eg due to data ingestion), causing the OS to kill it." is also no longer true

3) The "Note that some types of data (e.g. performance, log error summaries) are not processed immediately" for ingesting a single push is no longer true, due to bug 1221536 comment 5.

Bug 1289709 - Docs: Simplify development data ingestion instructions

Now that Treeherder's data ingestion process doesn't hit it's own API:
* `./manage.py runserver` is less susceptible to memory issues.
* The runserver/gunicorn process doesn't need to be running whilst the
data ingestion takes place.
