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.

#### Import into a self-hosted Zulip server
Zulip's import tools are robust, and have been used to import workspaces
with 10,000 members and millions of messages. If you're planning on doing
an import much larger than that, or run into performance issues when
importing, [contact us](/help/contact-support) for help.
1. Follow steps
[1](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/production/install.html#step-1-download-the-latest-release)
and
[2](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/production/install.html#step-2-install-zulip)
of the guide for [installing a new Zulip
server](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/production/install.html).
1. Copy the **exported data** file containing your workspace message
history export onto your Zulip server, and put it in `/tmp/`.
1. Log in to a shell on your Zulip server as the `zulip` user.
