* [JA] fix NonFungibleTokensV1_1 amendment status

* [JA] update NFTokenOffer page

* Remove old, unused XRP article (#2039)

* Add tooling to check for file/nav consistency

- From the repo top, run tool/check_file_consistency.py to look for
  Markdown files that exist in the "content/" directory but aren't used
  in the documentation.
- New "enforce_filenames" filter prints a warning to console when
  building, if a file's path and filename don't match expectations
  based on its place in the nav and top heading.

* File consistency checker: correctly handle filenames starting in _

* Remove unused old 'get started' and associated code

* Create Resources section & reorg some files

- Rename some files/folders based on their place in the nav
- Move a bunch of non-documentation stuff, and docs on contributing code
  and/or docs to the new "Resources" section.
- Known issue: nav spills into a second row on page widths between
  993px-1110px. To be fixed in a later CSS update, maybe along with
  making the Resources dropdown multi-column.

CSS not built yet, to reduce merge conflicts. Won't have any effect
until that happens.

Ledgers are the data structure that holds data in the shared XRP Ledger network. A chain of ledgers records the history of transactions and state changes.

Ledgers

The XRP Ledger is a shared, global ledger that is open to all. Individual participants can trust the integrity of the ledger without having to trust any single institution to manage it. The XRP Ledger protocol accomplishes this by managing a ledger database that can only be updated according to very specific rules. Each server in the peer-to-peer network keeps a full copy of the ledger database, and the network distributes candidate transactions, which are applied in blocks according to the consensus process.

{{ include_svg("img/ledger-changes.svg", "Diagram: Each ledger is the result of applying transactions to the previous ledger version.") }}

The shared global ledger consists of a series of blocks, called ledger versions or simply ledgers. Every ledger version has a [Ledger Index][] which identifies the correct order of ledgers. Each permanent, closed ledger also has a unique, identifying hash value.

At any given time, each XRP Ledger server has an in-progress open ledger, a number of pending closed ledgers, and a history of validated ledgers that are immutable.

A single ledger version consists of several parts:

{{ include_svg("img/anatomy-of-a-ledger-simplified.svg", "Diagram: A ledger has transactions, a state tree, and a header with the close time and validation info") }}

A header - The [Ledger Index][], hashes of its other contents, and other metadata.
A transaction tree - The transactions that were applied to the previous ledger to make this one.
A state tree - All the data in the ledger, as ledger entries: balances, settings, and so on.
