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.

# Restrict stream creation
{!admin-only.md!}
Zulip allows you to separately control [permissions](/help/roles-and-permissions)
for creating [web-public](/help/public-access-option), public and private
streams.
For corporations and other organizations with controlled access, we
recommend keeping stream creation open to make it easy for users to
self-organize.
Only users in trusted roles (moderators and administrators) can be
given permission to create web-public streams. This is intended
[to help manage abuse](/help/public-access-option#managing-abuse) by
making it hard for an attacker to host malicious content in an
unadvertised web-public stream in a legitimate organization.
