Previous link leads to incorrect (more recent) version of web3.js docs.
go-ethereum uses v0.20.1. The docs for 0.2x.x have been archived at this Github link.
The `README.md` links the Gitter channel for discussions, but the
official docs and even the Gitter channel itself recommend using the
official Discord Server for such discussions.
This PR simply changes the Gitter link and provides Discord invite link.
The legacy dot-org URL was displaying a message about the repository
having migrated to the dot-com service, which now covers open-source
projects as well.
