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.

Create a poll

Zulip natively supports creating and editing lightweight polls.

To create a poll, send a message like

/poll <name of poll>

or

/poll <name of poll>
option 1
option 2
...

Once the poll is created, you'll be able to edit the name of the poll and add options, but you won't be able to edit options once they are created.

Note that anyone can add options to any poll, though only the poll creator can edit the name.

Troubleshooting

/poll must come at the beginning of the message. It is not possible to send a message that both has a poll and has any other content.
