chore(ci): deploy to docs.angularjs.org from within the corresponding directory

Previously, in order to deploy to Firebase from
`scripts/docs.angularjs.org-firebase/`, we had to copy the
`firebase.json` file to the repository root and adjust the contained
paths accordingly.

By running the `firebase` CLI directly (instead of via `yarn`), we are
able to deploy from `docs.angularjs.org-firebase/` directly. This
simplifies the deployment (and local testing) process and paves the way
for also deploying from `code.angularjs.org-firebase/` in a subsequent
commit.

 # Continuous integration
 
-The docs are deployed to Google Firebase hosting via a CI deployment config, which expects `firebase.json` to be in the repository root, which is done by a Grunt task (`firebaseDocsJsonForCI` which is included in `prepareDeploy`).
-The `firebaseDocsJsonForCI` task modifies the paths in the `firebase.json` and copies it to the repository root.
+The docs are deployed to Google Firebase hosting and functions automatically via CI.

 # Serving locally:
 
+- Run `cd scripts/docs.angularjs.org-firebase`.
+  This changes the current working directory.

 - Run `yarn grunt package`.
   This builds the files that will be deployed.
 
 - Run `yarn grunt prepareDeploy`.
   This copies docs content files into `./deploy` and the partials for Search Engine AJAX Crawling into `./functions/content`.
-  It also moves the `firebase.json` file to the root folder, where the firebase-cli expects it.
 
-- Run `firebase serve --only functions,hosting`
