help: Add an article about moving content to another topic.

This commit addresses @timabbott 's comments, by adding a new article
"Move content to another topic".

Thanks to the new article, I also simplified a step from the "Rename a
topic" article to keep it focused on renaming only.

# Move content to another topic
By default, any user can change the topic of any message. This is useful for
keeping messages organized even if some users are still learning how to use
topics effectively.
Organization administrators can
[configure who can edit topics](/help/configure-who-can-edit-topics), or turn off
message editing entirely. See the
[guide to message and topic editing](/help/configure-message-editing-and-deletion)
for the details on when topic editing is allowed.
### Move a message to another topic
{start_tabs}
{!message-actions-menu.md!}
1. Select the first option. It may be called **View source / Edit topic**,
or simply **Edit**. If it's called **View source**, then you are not
allowed to edit the topic of that message.
2. Set the destination topic.
3. A dropdown with three options will appear to the right:
**Change only this message topic**, **Change later messages to this topic**, and
**Change previous and following messages to this topic**. Pick the appropriate
option.
4. Click **Save**.
{end_tabs}
