Lauryn Menard 8d242f3467 help_docs: Update edit history documentation for messages.
`disable-message-edit-history`: Remove text about EDITED label
and link to `view-a-messages-edit-history` instead.

`edit-or-delete-a-message`: Reformat 'EDITED' and '(deleted)'
to be bold instead of using backticks. Make link to view
edit history clearer.

Note that the text used in the `OpenGraphTest` in
`test_middleware.py` had to be updated for the changes to
`disable-message-edit-history`.

Tim Abbott 9da1934c8e deletion: Preserve deleted objects for 30 days rather than 7.
We had an incident where someone didn't notice for a week that they'd
accidentally enabled a 30-day message retention policy, and thus we
were unable to restore the deleted the content.

After some review of what other products do (E.g. Dropbox preserves
things in a restoreable state for 30 days) we're adjusting this
setting's default value to be substantially longer, to give more time
for users to notice their mistake and correct it before data is
irrevocably deleted.

Damian Parrino caea7f167d help: Reorganize articles on editing topics.
* Move content on moving topics between streams to a dedicated
  article. We advertise it as "move content" to hint that one can move
  messages or split topics, and link to it.

* This deletes change-the-topic-of-a-message, because the same content
  is already covered in rename-a-topic.

* This commit mostly just moves content between articles. Most of that
  content was redundant with the first few paragraphs of the surviving
  "rename a topic" article. The former "This is useful for" se ntence
  was adapted to the remaining article.

* This commit also adds a redirect for the removed article, and
  updates related links.

Mateusz Mandera 82b43a8cfe streams: Use "archive stream" phrasing instead of "delete stream".
The previous phrasing was misleading in relation to what the action
actually does.

Tim Abbott 5bfafae764 docs: Improve linking of documentation around message deletion.
This should help users confirm their understanding of how deletion
works in Zulip starting from the actual deletion UI.

YashRE42 669f482b0d icons: Switch from text-o to code-o for view source / edit topics.
This commit replaces fa-file-text-o with fa-file-code-o which is a
better signal for the "view source" action. It also deletes a single
line comment that had suggested the change once we moved into font
awesome 4, which Aditya Bansal <adi.bansal241996@gmail.com> helped
out in doing, first via
91962aa6ab and most recently via
75ae94e459 with several commits in
between.

Tim Abbott f4489c381c docs: Document message retention policies.
We've completed the production performance testing that had been
blocking us from advertising this feature, so we're declaring the
feature implemented by documenting it.

As of this commit, you need to edit fields using `manage.py shell` to
configure it and manually configure the cron job, but those should be
addressed in the next few days.

Fixes #106.

Rishi Gupta 96845147c9 help: Fix a few errors in edit-or-delete-a-message.md.
Still some errors (e.g. "Hover over a message to replace the message's
timestamp with its message actions" is no longer correct), and a lot of
other improvements to be made, but just doing a quick fix of a few things I
noticed.
