Remove docs, tasks and inference API from huggingface_hub

[osanseviero]

This PR removes content under docs, tasks, and api-inference-community since there is no active development in this repo anymore for that. The PR does not remove js since there are a couple of PRs open for it still.

[HuggingFaceDocBuilderDev]

The documentation is not available anymore as the PR was closed or merged.

Yeah! this is going to be way cleaner!!

Aren't they mostly stale? I would advocate to remove js sooner rather than later

[osanseviero]

Alright, so I did a couple of things

• Removed js cc @mishig25 since you have a couple of PRs here
• Removed parts of contributing guide about the removed directories
• Updates the README. It has lots of improvement headroom, but the proposal is better than what is over there right now I think

Impressive diff! Thanks for taking care of that, @osanseviero.

The edit of the contributing guide & readme look good to me. Will be super clean like that!

(out of scope) I wonder if the readme shouldn't be beefed up a bit now to provide code samples, examples etc. I think the README is a big source of traffic, so making it as welcoming/easy to get started as possible would be nice.

Yes, totally. As mentioned above, "Updates the README. It has lots of improvement headroom, but the proposal is better than what is over there right now I think", so for sure we can significantly improve things, but I would like to merge this for now since this PR is already better than what exists now. WDYT? (alternatively I could also move content from the README under huggingface_hub directory, WDYT?)

Fine for me to merge like this yes, and let's revisit the README in another PR. Having a separate README in the src/huggingface_hub directory indeed doesn't make a lot of sense anymore.
