Marc Durdin b751336c13 refactor(developer): copy dev 17.0 help into repo
1. Copy help.keyman.com/developer/17.0/* into /developer/docs/help
2. Update references to 18.0 where appropriate
3. Copy all referenced images from /cdn/dev into
   /developer/docs/help/images and update links in documentation

Next commit: add deployment to help-keyman-com.sh. Note: simplest way to
test links at this point is to use the help.keyman.com auto deploy and
wait for the PR on help.keyman.com to be validated; we could look at an
internal link validation tool that verifies markdown links?

# Setup Bootstrapper
The Keyman Desktop installation bootstrapper is a self-extracting executable file that contains a Windows Installer technology MSI file, and optionally keyboards. The bootstrapper is used whenever a package installer is created.
The bootstrapper:
1. Checks the system before starting the installation to ensure that all prerequisites are met, and optionally downloads and installs the prerequisites.
2. Optionally checks online for an updated version of Keyman Desktop before installing.
3. Starts the Keyman Desktop Windows Installer MSI package.
4. Installs any keyboards included.
5. Starts Keyman Desktop after the install completes.
