docs: update docs ordering and formatting (#1192 )

The major change is adding `sort` directive to docs. For those docs which are copied
from internal packages `sort` is added via makefile command. For the rest it is added
manually since they're updated manually as well.

The rest of changes is connected with markdown formatting. For example, changing headers
in some files (`##` => `#`) makes navigation on .github.io to look better. This especially
useful for `changelog` docs.

Table of contents for `vmctl` is dropped, since we already have it autogenerated on .github.io.

No link changes expected. The corresponding PR to `cluster` branch will be made in follow-up PR.

Release process guidance

Release version and Docker images

Document all the changes for new release in CHANGELOG.md.
Create release tag with git tag v1.xx.y in master branch and git tag v1.xx.y-cluster in cluster branch.
Run make release for creating *.tar.gz release archive with the corresponding _checksums.txt inside bin directory.
Run make publish for creating and publishing Docker images.
Repeat steps 3-4 for cluster branch.
Push release tag to https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics : git push origin v1.xx.y.
Go to https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases , create new release from the pushed tag on step 5 and upload *.tar.gz archive with the corresponding _checksums.txt from step 2.

pre-requirements:

snapcraft binary, can be installed with commands: for MacOS brew install snapcraft and install mutipass, for Ubuntu - sudo snap install snapcraft --classic
