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.

Mention everyone on a stream
You can mention everyone on a stream with the @**all** mention (or,
equivalently, @**everyone** or @**stream**). Use sparingly! Used improperly,
wildcard mentions can be annoying.
Note that this will not notify anyone who has muted the stream, and users can disable receiving email/push notifications for these wildcard mentions, either globally or for individual streams.
