help: Refactor "Marking messages as read". 

This help center article needs to be restructured before adding
documentation for mobile app users.

Splits the article into three sections so that we can document how
to mark messages as read on scroll or manually mark all messages
as read.

Adds "Related articles" section with cross-links.
