The `vendor` directory is a remnant of times long since gone when we had brightray and libchromiumcontent (never forget). It is currently the hope to a single header file that afaics we do not need anymore and randomly pyyaml gets cloned there but that is easily movable. This commit removes all references to the vendor directory from scripts, docs, helpers, etc. and removes the directory itself.
Official Guides
Please make sure that you use the documents that match your Electron version. The version number should be a part of the page URL. If it's not, you are probably using the documentation of a development branch which may contain API changes that are not compatible with your Electron version. To view older versions of the documentation, you can browse by tag on GitHub by opening the "Switch branches/tags" dropdown and selecting the tag that matches your version.
