[tor-project] Updating the Tor Browser user manual

[Isabela]

Hi Colin,
this is great stuff, so happy to see this plan coming together.

I want to add that once the documentation is back online and as we move
with the website redesign plan, we should make sure to have on our 'wish
list' how we can improve the usability of this documentation.

I remember when sponsorO was ending, we were talking about ways to
display documentations to the user that can be smarter about popular
articles and easier to navegate / find articles, like
support.twitter.com does.

thanks for working on this!
