Proposed changes

This commit moves and updates some of the process documentation for the repository. This is an iterative process, which will continue to improve as time goes on. Some of the changes include:

  • Moving the closed contributions document into the documentation folder
  • Moving and reframing the F5/NGINX document as "Maintainers etiquette"
  • Moving and renaming the "Managing content with Hugo" document
  • Moving the style guide from the templates folder

These files will likely be updated in a subsequent PR as we clarify the contribution process and user flow of other process artifacts, such as the pull request and issue templates.

Although we do not draw attention to it, the templates folder is being retained for reference until the style guide and Hugo archetypes contain the relevant, useful information.

Since we squash and merge I think this guideline is somewhat moot, but partially why conventional commits are important. I have stronger opinions about this and would like the git style guide to be its own document, but it will be its own PR.
