Host community pages via repo submodule

[svrnm]

via open-telemetry/community#1056:

Discussed in the GC call. GC recommendation is to use the same publishing mechanism for Community repo that we already use for including Specification into the website pages.

My personal suggestion: instead of using a submodule, use a web hook and pull the dependency repos at build time. This will eliminate the need for manual submodule hash updates and will keep the docs up-to-date with the Specs/Community automatically (one possible downside is if commits in those repos end up breaking the build of the website, e.g. by using invalid link).

We're using submodules already, I'd rather continue using submodules (easier to reproduce builds IMHO).

@svrnm - are you ok with a change in title for this issue, something like: Host community pages via repo submodule?

Yes, let's change it to that.

Closing, since the community repo is now a submodule. For the mission page work, see:
