help: Restructure "Mastering the compose box" article. This help center article should include more features rather than just focusing on the "go to conversation" button.

Adds new section "Toggle between Ctrl+Enter and Enter". Deletes the "Enable Enter to send" help center article, and adds its content as a new subheading in this section. Updates existing links accordingly and adds a URL redirect. Documents "Enable Control + Enter to send". Tweaks intro paragraph of "Mastering the compose box". Fixes: #22817.

## Toggle between <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> and <kbd>Enter</kbd> to send a message
By default, the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key adds a new line to your message,
and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> sends your message.
This is convenient for typing multi-line messages, which are more common in
Zulip than in most other chat products. However, you can also configure
Zulip so that the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key sends your message.

<kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> always adds a new line, regardless
of whether **<kbd>Enter</kbd> to send** is enabled.
