Angus Gratton 62ed221daf docs: Functional renaming commit for CMake-as-default
Rename all the files which will be edited substantially in the next commit, without changing their
contents

Docs will not build for this ocmmit.

This is done so that git doesn't decide we renamed xxx-cmake -> xxx-legacy in the next commit, which
is what it will infer otherwise (and makes rebasing more of a pain than it should be)

Install Prerequisites
=====================
To compile with ESP-IDF you need to get the following packages:
- CentOS 7::
sudo yum install git wget ncurses-devel flex bison gperf python pyserial python-pyelftools cmake ninja-build ccache
- Ubuntu and Debian::
sudo apt-get install git wget libncurses-dev flex bison gperf python python-pip python-setuptools python-serial python-click python-cryptography python-future python-pyparsing python-pyelftools cmake ninja-build ccache
- Arch::
sudo pacman -S --needed gcc git make ncurses flex bison gperf python2-pip python2-pyserial python2-click python2-cryptography python2-future python2-pyparsing python2-pyelftools cmake ninja ccache
.. note::
CMake version 3.5 or newer is required for use with ESP-IDF. Older Linux distributions may require updating, enabling of a "backports" repository, or installing of a "cmake3" package rather than "cmake".
Additional Tips
===============
Permission issues /dev/ttyUSB0
------------------------------
With some Linux distributions you may get the ``Failed to open port /dev/ttyUSB0`` error message when flashing the ESP32. :ref:`This can be solved by adding the current user to the dialout group<linux-dialout-group-cmake>`.
Arch Linux Users
----------------
To run the precompiled gdb (xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb) in Arch Linux requires ncurses 5, but Arch uses ncurses 6.
Backwards compatibility libraries are available in AUR_ for native and lib32 configurations:
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ncurses5-compat-libs/
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs/
Before installing these packages you might need to add the author's public key to your keyring as described in the "Comments" section at the links above.
Alternatively, use crosstool-NG to compile a gdb that links against ncurses 6.
Next Steps
==========
To carry on with development environment setup, proceed to :ref:`get-started-get-esp-idf-cmake`.
