Christian Blichmann ea1a934d51 Migrate Sandboxed API docs to developer.google.com/sandboxed-api
This change removes the in-tree documentation in favor of the one hosted on
the Google's Developer site. This makes it easier to maintain for the
sandbox team, as there is now only a single source of truth for both internal
and external documentation.

If you find errors/bugs in the documentation, please file regular GitHub
issues.

## What is Sandboxed API?
The Sandboxed API project (**SAPI**) aims to make sandboxing of C/C++ libraries
less burdensome: after initial setup of security policies and generation of
library interfaces, an almost-identical stub API is generated, transparently
forwarding calls using a custom RPC layer to the real library running inside a
sandboxed environment.
Additionally, each SAPI library utilizes a tightly defined security policy, in
contrast to the typical sandboxed project, where security policies must cover the total
syscall/resource footprint of all utilized libraries.
## Documentation
Detailed developer documentation is available on the Google Developers site for
[Sandboxed API](https://developers.google.com/sandboxed-api).
There is also a
[Getting Started](https://developers.google.com/sandboxed-api/docs/getting-started)
guide.
