* Add constants for the open source and samples repos branch names
Open source branch name - `openSourceBranchName`
Sample repos branch name - `openSourceSamplesBranchName`
* Add base path constants to the open source and samples repos
Fully replace base path to open source codebase - `openSourceBranch`
Fully replace base path to open source samples - `openSourceSamplesBranch`
These can be accessed in the docs using `os_branch` and `os_samples_branch`
Correct usages in the docs to use these constants.
* Correct links

Remove some information that is way to specific for installing the
oracle jdk.
Add mention of zulu openjdk to the docs.

* CORDA-2477 Improve Signature Constraints documentation (#5041)
The Signature Constraint documentation in `api-contract-constraints`
was very limited and referred to the design doc for most information.
Information was extracted from the design doc and added to the main
documentation.

* CORDA-2477 Add codesets so backported docs show properly
In Corda 4, FinalityFlow was updated to become an initiated flow, in order to ensure a node does not have to accept any signed transaction it receives without being able to check it first. The old behaviour of FinalityFlow was gated behind a targetPlatformVersion check, to prevent apps targeting V4 from using the old behaviour.
This is problematic for a few reasons. For an app wishing to be backwards compatible with a version running on V3, this forces the app to set targetPlatformVersion = 3, even if the app is thoroughly tested against V4. This goes against the purpose of the targetPlatformVersion. Another consequence is that an app remains pinned to targetPlatformVersion = 3 until it is sure that there are no other apps running at a lower version in the network, which would prevent newer versions of the app from taking advantage of features gated behind targetPlatformVersion checks. (Note that the restriction only prevents a new version of the app from initiating FinalityFlow with the old version - the old version is able to initiate a FinalityFlow and the new version will handle it, assuming the app has been written correctly.)
This fix removes the targetPlatformVersion check from FinalityFlow, and also provides a few documentation updates to clarify what level of testing would be expected to set a targetPlatformVersion.
