Lauryn Menard dedea23745 help-docs: Move help center documentation to top level directory.
These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed
to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their
importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, 
without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

# Change a user's role
{!admin-only.md!}
Users join as [owners, administrators, moderators, members, or
guests](/help/roles-and-permissions), depending on how they were
invited.
An organization owner can change the role of any user. An
organization administrator can change the role of most users, but
cannot create or demote an organization owner.
You can revoke your own owner or administrative privileges if
there is at least one other owner in the organization (consider
promoting a new owner or [deactivating the
organization](/help/deactivate-your-organization) instead).
