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.

# PMs, mentions, and alerts
You can configure desktop, mobile, and email notifications for
[private messages (PMs)](/help/private-messages),
[mentions](/help/mention-a-user-or-group), and [alert
words](#alert-words).

private messages, mentions, and alert words.

messages) from desktop notifications.

## Wildcard mentions

email/push notifications as though they were personal @-mentions. You
