Tim Abbott 30e1aada42 docs: Stop documenting how to create multiple organizations.
This documentation wasn't super helpful, since users will want
REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS.

Greg Price cd897b7a99 docs/prod*: Simplify core install instructions a bit by cutting /root/zulip .
This works fine in my testing -- I followed it on a fresh `trusty` VM,
after just getting SSL certs with our LetsEncrypt instructions, and
the install completed successfully.

And in the source tree, the only evidence I can find of a potential
remaining dependency on the `/root/zulip` path is the Nagios config in
`puppet/zulip_ops/`.  That's actually already broken, in that it
depends on `/root/zulip/api/`, so we'll have to sort that out;
and in any case, it doesn't matter to most people installing Zulip.

Add a mention that the install script will move the just-unpacked
directory out from under you.  While we're here, add a few words about
where the deployed code is laid out.

Text of those last words tweaked by tabbott.

Tim Abbott 634532b414 docs: Remove discussion of community organizations.
This significantly simplifies the page, and they don't exist anymore
anyway.

Tim Abbott 7582d0920d docs: Improve clarity of production install documentation for emails.
Based on #6094, this extracts email configuration as its own step.

Tim Abbott 4725afe99a settings: Move NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS to DEFAULT_SETTINGS.
Since we're auto-detecting the value anyway, there's no reason it
can't be moved to DEFAULT_SETTINGS.

This lets us remove some clutter from the installation documentation.

Greg Price 9f62b402b5 install docs: Fix some small grammar and orthography issues.
After editing this file for the previous commit, I couldn't unsee
"low-traffic the".  So I fixed that, saw more issues, and then just
went through the page for everything that was similarly trivial to fix.

Greg Price 273533643a install docs: Say explicitly that Zulip should have its own (virtual) machine.
This is the main thing that https://zulip.org/server.html explains
that we don't yet in our main documentation tree.

Pweaver (Paul Weaver) 2c10e7c0db Change from and noreply emails to use EXTERNAL_HOST domain.
This eliminates another mandatory setting from what one needs to
configure to setup a Zulip server.

Abhijeet Kaur 8f88b045a4 Rename "Administration" to "Organization" in the settings UI.
This better sets expectatations for the fact that in Zulip, the
Organization settings UI is available read-only to non-administrator
users.

Tweaked by tabbott to update some additional references.

Tim Abbott 8c1285924e prod_settings_template: Move email configuration up.
This reflects the fact that you definitely need to configure this, but
you don't have to configure any of the auth backends, really.

Tim Abbott 36d54cf5ff Replace references to zulip.com/dist with zulip.org/dist.
Now that zulip.org has all the files to distribute, there's no reason
to still point to the soon-to-be-decommissioned zulip.com/dist.

Tim Abbott b8ec9a5a42 docs: Improve installation instruction headings.
The previous RTD headings were unclear and resulted in some users
attempting to install the Zulip production environment for doing
development.  This clarifies the situation.

Rishi Gupta 777fcaa6a0 Add new organization type field to Realm objects.
Adds a new field org_type to Realm.  Defaults for restricted_to_domain
and invite_required are now controlled by org_type at time of realm
creation (see zerver.lib.actions.do_create_realm), rather than at the
database level.  Note that the backend defaults are all
org_type=corporate, since that matches the current assumptions in the
codebase, whereas the frontend default is org_type=community, since if
a user isn't sure they probably want community.

Since we will likely in the future enable/disable various
administrative features based on whether an organization is corporate
or community, we discuss those issues in the realm creation form.
Before we actually implement any such features, we'll want to make
sure users understand what type of organization they are a member of.

Choice of org_type (via radio button) has been added to the realm
creation flow and the realm creation management command, and the
open-realm option removed.

The database defaults have not been changed, which allows our testing code
to work unchanged.

[includes some HTML/CSS work by Brock Whittaker to make it look nice]
