Move MIT Zephyr setup instructions to humbughq.com/zephyr.

This makes it possible to point users back at the instructions they
followed originally in the event that their Zephyr mirroring bot has
died.

1) Create a password and activate your account:
<{{ activate_url }}>
2) Get your API key from the "Settings" panel and put it in a file in your
Athena home directory called ~/Private/.humbug-api-key .
2) Follow the instructions on <https://humbughq.com/zephyr> to setup
the Zephyr mirroring system.
3) Copy over your Zephyr subscriptions
NOTE: Humbug does not currently support filters; everything you subscribe
to will be in your default view. If you have too many subscriptions (you
know who you are), you may want to manually subscribe to just your main
view. You can add or remove subscriptions from the Humbug app by clicking
the gear in the upper right-hand corner and then selecting "Streams."
If you would like to copy over all of your subscriptions, please run the
command below:
/mit/tabbott/humbug/zephyr_mirror.py --sync-subscriptions
After running the script, please reload Humbug to allow the changes to
take effect.
4) On an Athena dialup (linerva.mit.edu, scrubbing-bubbles.mit.edu, etc),
run the Zephyr mirroring script.
IMPORTANT: You must keep this script always running in a session
with unexpired Kerberos tickets. The script forwards personals
you receive on Zephyr to Humbug, and forwards messages you send in
Humbug to Zephyr.
If you already have Barnowl running in screen/tmux somewhere, you can just
run the command below inside that session. If not, see "Running Barnowl in
Screen" at <http://sipb.mit.edu/doc/zephyr/> for an explanation.
To set up Zephyr mirroring, run:
/mit/tabbott/humbug/zephyr_mirror.py

<h2>Zephyr Mirroring for Humbug</h2>
<p>Thanks for giving Humbug a try! This page describes how to use
Humbug as to use MIT Zephyr; if you're not a current Zephyr user,
you probably want to visit the main Humbug website.</p>
<p>There are a few steps you need to take to setup Humbug for your
MIT Zephyr account.</p>
<h3>First time setup</h3>
<ol>
<li><p>Create a password and activate your account using the URL in
your email.</p></li>
<li><p>Get your API key from the "Settings" panel and put it in a file in your
Athena home directory called <code>~/Private/.humbug-api-key</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Copy over your Zephyr subscriptions</p>
<p> NOTE: Humbug does not currently support the equivalent of
Barnowl filters; everything you subscribe to will be in your
default view. If you have too many subscriptions (you know who you
are), you may want to manually subscribe to just your main
view. You can add or remove subscriptions from the Humbug app by
clicking the gear in the upper right-hand corner and then
selecting "Streams."</p>
<p>If you would like to copy over all of your subscriptions, please
run the following command:<br />
<code>/mit/tabbott/humbug/zephyr_mirror.py --sync-subscriptions</code></p>
<p>After running the script, please reload Humbug to allow the changes to
take effect.</p></li>
</ol>
<h3>Long-term setup</h3>
<p>On an Athena dialup
(<a href="https://linerva.mit.edu">linerva.mit.edu</a>,
<a href="https://athena.dialup.mit.edu">athena.dialup.mit.edu</a>,
etc.), run the Zephyr mirroring script inside a screen
session.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT: You must keep the Zephyr mirroring script
always running in a session with unexpired Kerberos
tickets.</strong> The script forwards personals you receive on
Zephyr to Humbug, and forwards messages you send in Humbug to
Zephyr. <strong>If it is not running, only other Humbug users
will receive messages you send from Humbug!</strong>. The Humbug
web application will warn you if the Zephyr mirroring script is
not running.</p>
<p>If you already have Barnowl running in screen/tmux somewhere,
you can just run the command below inside that session. If not,
see <a href="https://sipb.mit.edu/doc/zephyr/">Running Barnowl in
Screen</a> for an explanation of how to do this.<p>
<p>To set up Zephyr mirroring, run: <br />
<code>/mit/tabbott/humbug/zephyr_mirror.py</code></p>
<p>Don't run multiple copies of the Zephyr mirroring script;
doing so will result in messages you sent being forwarded to
Zephyr twice.</p>
