When building icu4c, it defaults to clang instead of gcc when the default compiler, cc / c++, is a symlink to gcc / g++.
This not the expected behavior when building C and C++ code.
It appears that this behavior was put in place originally for supporting C++11, which hopefully is no longer such a concern.
This PR adjusts the configure.ac for icu4c to prefer the cc and c++ compilers first.
It has been proposed that make running too many parallel jobs recently
has led to resource exhaustion in our CI, so that some kind of limit
would be helpful to set.
The load average 2.5 limit choosen here is simply the limit used as an
example in the make documentation, as we don't really have any way of
picking an initial value that's certain to be better.

1. Shorten job name uconfig_variation-check-unit-tests to uconfig-unit-tests
2. Shorten job name uconfig_variation-check-all-header-tests to uconfig-header-tests
3. use 11 jobs to run each of them in parallel to reduce the ~1hrs run to about 6-8 mins

In this PR, I am updating the version number from 70.0.1 for the BRS task.
Previously, we had frontloaded part of this, so the diff in this PR are not as numerous.
It has also been decided that we should differentiate frontloaded tasks and RC tasks by having the version numbers being:
Frontload version number: XX.X.X (70.0.1 -> Major.minor.patch)
RC/GA version number: XX.X (70.1 -> Major.minor)
I've added some documentation for this, for future releases :)

Some links fixed, copyright notices added, filenames improved, Sidebar
navigation links to the new pages, but needs some further
improvements. Updated /trac/ticket/ links, and /trac/changeset/ links
where I could find the corresponding git commit. Also tweaked
userguide/dev/editing.md to clarify 'root directory'. Apply branch
rename: s/master/main/.
