Update documentation about how we do JavaScript in Plone 5

[ichim-david]

http://docs.plone.org/develop/addons/javascript_standards.html needs to be updated since I don't see jquery-migrate plugin being loaded in Plone 5. This means that code snippets that use $.browser will break ever since jquery 1.9 and since plone 5 ships with 1.1.11 people will run into javascript errors.

Some interesting points for the javascript documentation can be found in plone/Products.CMFPlone#1163

Here is a small collection of topics that need to be covered in the javascript documentation:

• Modern Javascript in Plone with requirejs
• Mockup and patternslib
• How to integrate legacy javascript (covered in [1])
• How to setup a dev environment for the javascript story
  • Requirements
  • Installation
  • JSHint
• Usage of the development mode of the resource registry
• Adding a resource or bundle to a request (covered in [1])
• How to add javascript or a pattern to an addon
  • TTW (covered in [2])
  • By Addon (covered in [1])

A few of these things are covered in: [1] http://docs.plone.org/adapt-and-extend/theming/resourceregistry.html [2] http://training.plone.org/5/javascript/index.html

I just struggled to find information on how to add JavaScript to an edit form, until I found this thread https://community.plone.org/t/add-custom-javascript-to-the-edit-page/2537, to which I added my own details: https://community.plone.org/t/add-custom-javascript-to-the-edit-page/2537/3. I would like to add it to the https://docs.plone.org/develop/addons/javascript folder somehow.
