Make our docs guidance discoverable

Currently, our guidance for making docs changes is
organized into a /docs/docs page that is only accessible if
you know the URL. This change ensures that people who have not
received an informal training on docs contributions can
contribute in a way that abides by our expectations for
consistency and effectiveness.

- Splits the docs/docs and docs/docs/best-practices pages into
  a UI reference, getting started guide, and style guide. This
  ensures that each kind of content we have in our contributing
  guide (i.e., tutorial or reference) is accessible from the
  main nav menu.
- Adds a "Contributing" tab to the navigation menu. There is
  one subsection here related to documenation, and we can add
  another subsection later with developer guides for editing
  Teleport's code.
- Moves the "philosophy" section into the intro page of the
  documentation contribution section menu.
- Makes various edits to the original docs guidance for clarity.
- Document our docs labels in a dedicated "creating an issue"
  page

Documentation is essential for learning about a product or service. Even for
internal contributors, reference documentation is often the ultimate source of
truth and the final arbiter of disputes and disagreements. And for decision
makers at organizations evaluating solutions, documentation is often a key
resource.
Teleport emphasizes accuracy and user satisfaction in our documentation, and
does not use documentation as a marketing tool. Our documentation supplements
other support mediums like Stack Overflow, discussion forums, GitHub issues,
Slack, and so on. There are many customer voices and we want to hear them all.
As such, we provide several avenues for expression, questions, and feedback.

the kind of documentation we want to transform our current documentation into.
