* Update docs/installing.md and docs/quick-start.md: mention "make roles"
This commit adds mentions to "make roles" and a note about the preference of ansible-playbook commands over the just "recipes".
quick-start.md intends to be referred by those who have never used the playbook to set up a server, so it is safer to regard that it is not clear to them what exactly the just "recipes" are made of, ie. it takes some time and experience until someone understands simplicity of them. For beginners, I believe that we should prefer the basics over simplicity, from the educational point of view.
If someone feels tired of using the same command repetitively, then the person will have been already well accustomed to the way how the playbook works and how the server is supposed to be maintained, and the person is "qualified" to use the just "recipes", and should be able to use them with confidence, distinguishing the playbook tags from the "recipes", for example, from "just install-all" and "ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=install-all". Such level of familiarity and experience should not be expected on the quick start guide.

* Add a note about cases to create multiple accounts/users
Since one of the quick start guide's goals is to set up an own user account, this commit adds the note about creating multiple accounts/users to installing.md and registering-users.md only. It should be fine as registering-users.md is linked from quick-start.md
Also:
- On installing.md and quick-start.md, change instruction from what encourages to select "admin=yes" or "admin=no" to what encourages to use "admin=yes", since your user account will be the sole user on the server, as long as you set up the server by following the documentation
- Remove the link to registering-users.md from quick-start.md as the documentation is already linked above, under the header of the section
- Sync docs/installing.md with other documentation
Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org>
* Remove a line about setting "admin=yes" to reduce the amount of information
Because quick-start.md is getting longer with much information, it removes the note in favor of the linked registering-users.md documentation. The note is available on installing.md as well, and details about adding user accounts for other people can (and should) be checked on those documentations.
Also, this commit edits lines above these notes to make it clear that your user account will be an administrator of the server.
With this commit, the amount of the information about adding user accounts will be: registering-users.md > installing.md > quick-start.md

The current ToC was added by 065b70203d, but the links were initially added by ef903fe544 as a navigation to sections under them. This commit replaces the ToC with such navigation.
Also, one of the sections was removed by f4f3d57520, and since matrix-nginx-proxy was removed, it seems to me that letting Synapse handle Federation by itself would be simpler than the other method which requires setting another webserver. Therefore this commit switches the alternative method from using another webserver to using Synapse.
