Rebuild the API docs using api-header-extractor script, and add the script to the normal build for Core so that it doesn't get out of sync again. Hotdoc configuration has not been used for a while; it is currently broken and we haven't got any docs generated by it anyway, so remove from repo. Remove largely duplicate BUILDING.md and old json-schema.md. Test-bot: skip

You can get the official installer from the official Python site: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows
Installing Meson
Ensure you have Python3 correctly installed and can run the command pip3.
$> python3 -m pip install meson
Building
In your source directory do the following:
$> cd core

Note on kmc
kmc is node.js-based the command-line compiler from Keyman Developer, available from keyman.com or on npm at @keymanapp/kmc.

The search path can be edited through System settings / Advanced system settings / Environment Variables / User environment variables.
