Documentation diverges between this repo and Symfony.com

[mpdude]

The README points to https://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/configuration/doctrine.html for documentation, claiming that this information would be drawn from Resources/docs. This is not true.

Resources/docs ends up at https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-bundle.html, whereas Symfony documentation comes from https://github.com/symfony/symfony-docs/blob/master/reference/configuration/doctrine.rst (and a few more recommendations/mentions in other places of that repo).

In particular, the "configuration reference" seems to have diverged at some point, with some interesting details and tidbits being available only in either of the two.

How could we resolve that?

I see value in having the documentation here, close to the authoritative source code.

On the other hand, there seems to be much more activity and awareness in https://github.com/symfony/symfony-docs, and symfony.com seems to be what search engines prefer and return for almost all Symfony + Doctrine related searches.

Also, the link in the sidebar appears to be dead: https://symfony.com/bundles (links to https://symfony.com/bundles/DoctrineBundle/current/index.html)

@mpdude I think https://symfony.com/bundles/DoctrineBundle/2.7.x/configuration.html should be enough, https://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/configuration/doctrine.html should redirect to that, maybe (after merging what's interesting)?

Should this be fixed by #1606, or what else should be done here?

https://github.com/symfony/symfony-docs/blob/6.2/reference/configuration/doctrine.rst good bits should be copy/pasted to https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineBundle/blob/2.8.x/Resources/doc/configuration.rst by a kind soul, after what the former can be removed (or replaced with a link to the latter) I think.
