Hector Sanjuan fe52c47570 Docs review and re-organization
This:

* Re-organizes the docs into sections that align with what docs.filecoin.io becoming:
  * An installation section
  * A "getting started" section (lotus client focused)
  * A "storing" section (lotus client focused)
  * A "mining" section (miner focused)
  * A "build" section (developer focused)
  * An legacy "architecture" section is left in the last place.

A few high-value documentation pages have been reviewed and updated with the latest recommendations:

* Installation section and lotus setup
* Miner setup
* etc.
...

Other pages have been correctly merged into the new relevant sections. Some pages have not been touched. The filesystem layout of the documentation has been changed into folders corresponding to the sections (as requested by @cw). Some pages that were not linked at all and/or where hidden, have been moved to "unclassified".

This should make the porting of the Lotus documentation to docs.filecoin.io much easier, while ensuring it is more up to date than it was before.

For the moment, this breaks most links as link-aliasing is not supported in lotus-docs.

Storage Mining

This section of the documentation explains how to do storage mining with Lotus. Please note that not everyone can do storage mining, and that you should not attempt it on on networks where sector sizes are 32GB+ unless you meet the hardware requirements.

From this point we assume that you have setup and are running the Lotus Node, that it has fully synced the Filecoin chain and that you are familiar with how to interact with it using the lotus command-line interface.

In order to perform storage mining, apart from the Lotus daemon, you will be additionally interacting with the lotus-miner and potentially the lotus-worker applications (which you should have installed along the lotus application already).
