Description

I plan to write patches making the following changes to DEVELOPERS.md:

Mention git clone as the first step. This is mentioned at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Docker but not in DEVELOPERS.md. Should mention all steps in DEVELOPERS.md and make it a one stop shop.
Move up mention of Windows users, "(Cannot access the database: No database connection (unknown))" from the very bottom, to inline with the regular instructions. I was stuck on this for days and didn't see this because it was at the bottom.

Also,

When first bullet of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Docker is moved into DEVELOPERS.md, delete that bullet from that wiki page
