804683 - Update doc content for packageless SDK

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: Documentation, defect, P1)

Description

[Will Bamberg [:wbamberg]]

Bug 793926 updates the doc generation code to work in a world without packages, but the docs themselves refer to packages in a few places.

This needs to be fixed for 1.12.

Attachment: pointer to pull request

This pull request merges and updates two guides, "CommonJS, Packages, and the SDK" and "Module Search", into a single guide called "Modules in the SDK". I've updated everything so we don't mention SDK packages like addon-kit and api-utils any more.

I've left the third-party package stuff more or less the same as it was, because (it seems to me that) we don't yet have a proper story for how third-party code is going to be packaged and delivered yet, and we are unlikely to get one before 1.12 ships, and this stuff really needs to be updated before then.
