Move from gitbook to docusaurus, build docs in Travis CI (#10970)
* fix: ignore unknown fields in more RPC responses

* Remove mdbook infrastructure

* Delete gitattributes and other theme related items

Move all docs to /docs folder to support Docusaurus

* all docs need to be moved to /docs

* can be changed in the future

Add Docusaurus infrastructure

* initialize docusaurus repo

Remove trailing whitespace, add support for eslint

Change Docusaurus configuration to support `src`

* No need to rename the folder! Change a setting and we're all good to
go.

* Fixing rebase items

* Remove unneccessary markdown file, fix type

* Some fonts are hard to read. Others, not so much. Rubik, you've been
sidelined. Roboto, into the limelight!

* As much as we all love tutorials, I think we all can navigate around a
markdown file. Say goodbye, `mdx.md`.

* Setup deployment infrastructure

* Move docs job from buildkite to travic

* Fix travis config

* Add vercel token to travis config

* Only deploy docs after merge

* Docker rust env

* Revert "Docker rust env"

This reverts commit f84bc208e807aab1c0d97c7588bbfada1fedfa7c.

* Build CLI usage from docker

* Pacify shellcheck

* Run job on PR and new commits for publication

* Update README

* Fix svg image building

* shellcheck

Validation-client Economics

Subject to change.

Validator-clients are eligible to receive protocol-based i.e. inflation-based rewards issued via stake-based annual interest rates calculated per epoch by providing compute CPU+GPU resources to validate and vote on a given PoH state. These protocol-based rewards are determined through an algorithmic disinflationary schedule as a function of total amount of circulating tokens. The network is expected to launch with an annual inflation rate around 15%, set to decrease by 15% per year until a long-term stable rate of 1-2% is reached. These issuances are to be split and distributed to participating validators, with around 90% of the issued tokens allocated for validator rewards. Because the network will be distributing a fixed amount of inflation rewards across the stake-weighted validator set, any individual validator's interest rate will be a function of the amount of staked SOL in relation to the circulating SOL.

Additionally, validator clients may earn revenue through fees via state-validation transactions. For clarity, we separately describe the design and motivation of these revenue distributions for validation-clients below: state-validation protocol-based rewards and state-validation transaction fees and rent.
