92050d90bc Add FAQ regarding theme overrides
Currently, the documentation refers to creating new themes a lot.
It is much less apparent how one can customize an existing theme by
overriding individual templates or adding new ones. This commit adds
an FAQ for this, and also mentions the mechanism in the FAQ on custom
templates.

remove WRITE_SELECTED
Implementation is buggy and unreliable. Therefore, it is better to
remove the functionality until a robust implementation is added.

Replaces a FAQ about upgrading from a very old version of Pelican, which
isn't relevant to most folks at this point.

16975bc3a2 Prefix Pip commands with python -m in docs
This ensures Pip commands will be executed for the current Python
interpreter and not, say, whichever Python interpreter happens to be
associated with `/usr/local/bin/pip`.

65f0f31b7b Add FAQ about static files parsed as content
Since #1509 got merged this pops up again and again (latest #1845). This
PR addresses the issue by adding a FAQ about it that explains why it is
necessary to add `*_EXCLUDES`.

2e1b16826b Enhance feedback and contributing guidelines
Many folks ask for help (via IRC or filing GitHub issues) without
sufficient detail and/or without first determining if the answers to
their questions might be better sourced elsewhere. These
documentation changes encourage users to follow certain guidelines
when reaching out for help.

86e11c619d Split Getting Started docs into separate sections
The "Getting Started" docs became overly long and unwieldy over time.
This splits it into separate sections, including:

* Quickstart
* Installation
* Writing content
* Publish your site

ae2afa27fc Clarify FAQ entry re: need to install Markdown
Folks keep running into this error, which probably signals a need to
change this behavior. After all, it wouldn't be hard for us to detect
what's going on and provide a better error message, such as: "It looks
like you're trying to process Markdown, but the Markdown library is not
currently installed. Please install the Python-Markdown library via 'pip
install markdown'."

Until we implement something akin to the above, this should serve as a
slightly-improved FAQ entry in the interim.
