Nick Gerleman 206b95aba5 Yoga Docs: Rename website-next to website (#1613)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/1613

So that GitHub links to edit a page point to the right place.

This will fail in OSS build until I switch the directory used by Vercel instance, but I am waiting to do that until ready to land, since that would cause other in progress changes to fail when exported.

# Margin, Padding, and Border
**Margin**: Affects the spacing around the outside of a node. A node with margin
will offset itself from the bounds of its parent but also offset the
location of any siblings. The margin of a node contributes to the total size
of its parent if the parent is auto sized.
**Padding**: Affects the size of the node it is applied to. Padding in Yoga acts as if
`box-sizing: border-box;` was set. That is padding will not add to the total size
of an element if it has an explicit size set. For auto sized nodes padding will increase
the size of the node as well as offset the location of any children.
**Border**: in Yoga acts exactly like padding and only exists as a seperate property so
that higher level frameworks get a hint as to how thick to draw a border. Yoga however
does not do any drawing so just uses this information during layout where border
acts exactly like padding.
