Summary:
Ref T9908. No more callsites. Also:
- Phurl a couple of documentation URIs.
- Get rid of "task:" in the global search since it doesn't really make sense anymore.
Test Plan: `grep`, edited/created tasks.

Summary:
A guide to basic skills every software professional should have.
This is so fundamental that I don't think the document is actually helpful, but we can try it I guess.
Test Plan: Reading?

Summary:
These are a little out of date:
- Link to Starmap since it explicitly exists now.
- Link to "Planning" instead of the old task.
- Link to "Prioritization" instead of telling anyone to build stuff themselves.
Test Plan: Read documentation.

Summary:
Basically similar to D13941 but a little more extreme:
- Really strongly emphasize reproducibility for bug reports, and set users up for rejection if they don't satisfy this.
- Really strongly emphasize problem descriptions for feature requests, and set users up for rejection.
- Get rid of various "please give us feedback"; we get plenty of feedback these days.
- Some modernization tweaks.
- Split the support document into:
- Stuff we actually support for free (security / good bug reports / feature requests).
- Stuff you can pay us for (hosting / consulting / prioritization).
- A nebulous "community" section, with appropriate (low) expectations that better reflects reality.
My overall goals here are:
- Set expectations better, so users don't show up in IRC expecting it to be a "great place to get amazing support" or whatever the docs said in 2011.
- Possibly move the needle slightly on bug reports / feature request quality, maybe.
Test Plan: Read changes carefully.

Summary: Fixes T8908. We sometimes receive hypothetical requests (usually when existing companies are thinking about adopting Phabricator) in the form of "No users have actually done this yet, but bad thing Y might happen". We can almost never move forward with these. Explain this in detail.
Test Plan: Reading.

Summary:
This mentions "like GitHub", but we purged all the issues and no longer accept them.
Generally, feature requests should be coming to the upstream only nowadays.
Also, don't overpromise IRC.
Test Plan: Read documentation.

Summary: @btrahan asked about this but I gave the wrong answer. These
currently do not turn into links. I think they might have in the past,
but if they did the rule is a little weird and feels specific to my
use. We can reexamine this at some point, but for now just make the
links work in a normal, reasonable sort of way.

Summary:
Fixes T6347. This refines the "contributor guide" documents to basically lock down support further. Notable changes in policy:
- Bugs: Emphasis on reproduction steps, strong emphasis on using Maniphest. Emphasis on what we support.
- Features: Emphasis on describing problems instead of solutions, emphasis on realistic expecations about timelines. Strong emphasis on using Maniphest.
- Code: Strong emphasis on coordinating with us first. No GitHub pull requests. Emphasis on us ignoring contributions we don't have time to deal with. Suggests local forks.
Test Plan: Read these through; let me generate them and take some screenshots for easier reading.
