Eeshan Garg d312432ea8 docs: Update links to zulip-announce mailing list.
The links we have now redirect to "My groups" and not to our
Google group. Also, the RSS feed is no longer supported by Google,
so we should no longer link to it.

Fixes #19560.

Eeshan Garg 3b1cb0b25a docs: Indicate latest Zulip version in installation and upgrade docs.
With copy-editing from tabbott, and also a migration to use
LATEST_RELEASE_VERSION, which will be correct even on the /latest/
paths.

Fixes #19695.

* Document copy widget on code blocks.
* This commit changes how we refer to "```python" type syntax for code
  blocks. Instead of being called a syntax highlighting label, this is
  now referred to as a "language tag", since it serves both syntax
  highlighting and playgrounds.
* Remap all the links.
* Advertise this new page in various places that previously did not have a link.

* Replaces "API and your Zulip URL" with a link to REST API docs.  This
  documentation text has been irrelevant for some time.
* Removes maintain-secure-upgrade from the TOC but the file remains to

- Various textual tweaks by tabbott.

Fixes #13184 and resolves #293.

David Rosa bdbc384de5 docs: Reduce the number of apparently broken links on github.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".

Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.

Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links.  This will be a follow-up issue.

Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719

Fixes #11087.

Greg Price b6ce366d61 docs: Add a comment explaining the fancy conditional-include syntax.
We only use it in this one place, so a comment right here seems the
most discoverable place to put it.  If we started using it more...
probably the section in docs/documentation/overview.md about the
dev/sysadmin docs system should split off into a new file, and this
info would become a subsection there.

Samuel Searles-Bryant c87893feea docs: Update .html links to .md.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.

This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.

Fixes: #11087.

Greg Price c1d5364077 install docs: Consolidate follow-up steps.
Now down to just 4 steps!

This version tries to prioritize: just two items that we really want

to running a big production service and reading all the docs.
Namely, the two required in order to really try out Zulip effectively
with one's colleagues.

Greg Price 526e301177 install docs: Tighten "create organization" step.
The screenshots weren't doing much good without being embedded in the
text... and in fact, looking at them for I think the first time,
they're badly out of date with the app.  So cut them.

We might add screenshots later, but on the other hand if we do a good
job with the forms themselves, they should be superfluous.

Greg Price 4edc121b49 install docs: Move background details to after main flow too.
This further shortens the wall of text inside the instructions.

Note that thanks to embedded reST, we now have the power to provide
custom anchors at section headings!  Which in particular means this
link won't break if we later tweak the wording of this heading.
