portico: Update /history. 

I didn't remove zulip_version from context_processors since it seems likely
that we'll want to put that information somewhere on portico at some point.

<h1>About Zulip</h1>
<p>
This server is an installation of version {{ zulip_version }} of
the <a href="https://zulipchat.com">Zulip open source group chat
software</a>. Written in Python and using the Django web framework,
Zulip has an extensive real-time messaging featureset, including
both group and private messaging, conversation streams, powerful
search, drag-and-drop file uploads, image previews, audible
notifications, missed-message emails, markdown formatting, desktop
and mobile apps, dozens of integrations, and much, much more.
</p>
<p>
Zulip was designed from the ground up to optimize the productivity
of discussions and real-time decision-making. Zulip's unique model
for threading topics, together with its system for tracking unread
messages, make it easy to have multiple simultaneous conversations
in the same stream. As a result, Zulip is more efficient than any
other chat product for catching up on conversations you missed while
you were away from your devices. You can read exactly the threads
that are important to you, and it feels natural to follow up on
conversations that happened while you were away.
</p>
<p>
Zulip's vision is to create the world's best group chat software,
completely open source, so that everyone has the freedom to
customize, improve, and run their own copy of this essential piece
of collaboration infrastructure.
</p>

<h1>Commercial (re-)launch</h1>
<p>
In 2016, Tim Abbott started a company, Kandra Labs, to
steward and financially sustain Zulip's development. Kandra
Labs was soon awarded
a <a href="https://seedfund.nsf.gov/">large grant</a> from
the US National Science Foundation, and also acquired
additional sources of funding.
</p>
<p>
In 2017, Kandra Labs launched two products: a hosted
Zulip service
at <a href="https://zulipchat.com">zulipchat.com</a>,
and an enterprise support product for on-premise
deployments.
