The discord shortened URL has been hijacked for a while and this
has been routing users to a potentially malicious environment.
To remove this risk completely, this removes all URLs that are not
under github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin, to reduce the impact of any
future URL hijacking.
Change the branching strategy to be able to release software for
multiple versions asynchronously, while having an integral up to
date but unstable master branch.
This is a major administrative policy change.
Removes crosslinking of documentation in favor of a link hierarchy:
- main README.md links to doc/intl/README.md
- doc/intl/README.md links to individual translated documents
This reduces conflicts between translations.
- Revert moving of ports and branching strategy because those are
actively preventing questions and PR difficulty
- Remove travis badge because we no longer use travis
- Fix formulation throughout the document
- Rewrite the contribution section
- Switch from Dogecoin devs twitter to Dogecoin twitter under
communities
- Add Q&A board to FAQ section
- Fix document language selector
- Bring tables back to "mining information"

Made the README much wow. Centered the title, logo, and badges. Added two badges that redirect to the website: "dogecoin" and "much wow" and removed the period that was included in the website's hyperlink.
Update
"Early 2015 (approximately a year and a half after release) there were
approximately 100,000,000,000 coins."
to
"Early 2015 (approximately a year and a half after release) there were
approximately 100,000,000,000 coins."
because that was 6 years ago and is now the past. Were makes more sense than will be at this point.

Refer to the right file in the top-level README.md.
Having only one file with test documentation saves some confusion about
where things are documented.
If ZMQ is enabled, check whether it's installed before running ZMQ tests.
If it isn't, disable ZMQ and print a warning.
Also add dependency info to test docs, so users know ZMQ is required
before running tests, and so they know how to install it.
When following the build instructions before this change then trying
to run the RPC tests, a unix user would get an error when python
tried to import zmq.
There may be other dependencies that should be added to the docs,
particularly ones for non-unix systems. This is the only unlisted
dependency I encountered using linux.
