Most of the definitions are based on the documentation in
`internal/manager/config/config.go` or inferred by labels and
descriptions from Flamenco v2 config pages.

`make` is no longer needed to build Flamenco, and so the installation
instructions (especially for Windows and macOS) can be made considerably
simpler.
Small documentation issue I ran into while writing a custom job type
The exec command takes an `exe` parameter, similar to other commands,
but the documentation wrongly indicates the parameter should be `exec`.

Add `/devstart` as an alias to `/development/getting-started/` page. This
is to be able to use a shorter link in the documentation I'm writing for
my hands-on class at SIGGRAPH 2025.
Remove the `linkTitle: GSoC` from the GSoC page front matter. It is not
used for the links in the navigation tree, which is why I put it there
to begin with.
Move the 'Single Image Render' job type to the 'third party job types'
section on the website. It needs more testing & finessing before it can be
bundled with Flamenco.
Add a new job type that can render a single image. It is broken up
into separate tiles, each of which can be rendered independently by a
worker. Only tested with Cycles.
Adaptive sampling is supported. For this, each tile is expanded by 16
pixels in each direction, which is later cropped off before merging
the tiles.
Denoising is not (yet) supported, as Blender/Cycles does not output
all the necessary data into EXR layers.
Tile sizes should (for now) be a power of 2, to avoid alignment
issues.

The docs listed the ffmpeg command as `create-video` but it seems that the actual command is `frames-to-video`.

Flamenco treats assets differently, depending on whether they're referenced
by an absolute or a blendfile-relative path. This is now actually
documented.
Document installation & use of sqlc.
Installing sqlc is only necessary to regenerate the database code. Once
generated, the code is independent of sqlc.
Add a screenshot of the Manager's log on the terminal. This should make
it clearer which "Manager output" is meant, also for people who aren't
familiar with terminals.
Fixes#104303
Reword so that the section starts with the suggestion that each problem
has a solution. And make it an enumerated list to clarify the structure
of the answer.
Updated the troubleshooting section of the FAQ to include guidance on checking the firewall and potential third-party antivirus issues when the Worker cannot connect to the Manager. This enhances the user experience by addressing common connectivity issues more comprehensively.
Add a Worker configuration option to configure the Linux out-of-memory
behaviour. Add `oom_score_adjust=500` to `flamenco-worker.yaml` to increase
the chance that Blender gets killed when the machine runs out of memory,
instead of Flamenco Worker itself.
