Thumbor and tc-aws have been dragging their feet on Python 3 support
for years, and even the alphas and unofficial forks we’ve been running
don’t seem to be maintained anymore. Depending on these projects is
no longer viable for us.

This new pages accomplishes several interrelated things:
* Documents that Zulip Cloud runs master and how that works.
* Documents policies on how long client apps are expected to support
old releases in our compatibility matrix.
* Removes the 3-years-stale roadmap article.
* Provides a central place to talk about different versions in Zulip.
* Provides a better place to link to from our "you need to upgrade" nag.
This content is not intended to be final, but should be finalized in
the next week or so.
Fixes#18322.
This likely still needs work on updating the list of highlights, as
well as an editing pass, but we shouldn't need to read the whole
`git log --stat` again.
There is only one PostgreSQL database; the "appdb" is irrelevant.
Also use "postgresql," as it is the name of the software, whereas
"postgres" the name of the binary and colloquial name. This is minor
cleanup, but enabled by the other renames in the previous commit.
The "voyager" name is non-intuitive and not significant.
`zulip::voyager` and `zulip::dockervoyager` stubs are kept for
back-compatibility with existing `zulip.conf` files.
This moves the puppet configuration closer to the "roles and profiles
method"[1] which is suggested for organizing puppet classes. Notably,
here it makes clear which classes are meant to be able to stand alone
as deployments.
Shims are left behind at the previous names, for compatibility with
existing `zulip.conf` files when upgrading.

This section referenced the old Puppet path for
puppet/zulip/templates/nginx/upstreams.conf.template.erb, and overall
felt focused on naming files that developers never look at.
wal-g was used in `puppet/zulip` by env-wal-g, but only installed in
`puppet/zulip_ops`.
Merge all of the dependencies of doing backups using wal-g (wal-g
installation, the pg_backup_and_purge job, the nagios plugin that
verifies it happens) into a common base class in `puppet/zulip`, since
it is generally useful.
This commit is first of few commita which aim to change all the
bugdown references to markdown. This commits rename the files,
file path mentions and change the imports.
Variables and other references to bugdown will be renamed in susequent
commits.
After some discussion, everyone seems to agree that 3.0 is the more
appropriate version number for our next major release. This updates
our documentation to reflect that we'll be using 3.0 as our next major
release.
