* Update docs/installing.md: add "Create your user account" section before "Finalize the installation"
docs/registering-users.md has correctly instructed that service delegation should be conducted after creating user accounts to finalize the installation process.
Since it does not really make sense to claim that installation has finished if there is not a user, this commit adds instruction to create a user account before configuring server delegation.

* Update docs/configuring-well-known.md: recategorize the sections about installing well-known files on the base domain's server
The commit merges the content of the option 2 with the section above, as both explain how to serve the base domain via the playbook and claim it is the easy way of installing well-known files, and therefore the content is repetitive.

* Update docs/installing.md: replace the anchor link to docs/configuring-well-known.md with one to docs/howto-server-delegation.md
Service Discovery via .well-known files is one of the two ways for server delegation, and it is possible to set up server delegation via a DNS SRV record instead (though it is more advanced and complicated), so it should be more proper to use the words "delegation/redirection" than "service discovery".

The instruction describes the easiest way of configuring Service Discovery (which is required for federation) should help to understand what basically to be done to finalize the installation.

* Add hard-coded breadcrumbs to documentation files about installation procedure for easier navigation
Since it is easy to get lost among these files, the breadcrumbs should be helpful to get the whole picture of the procedure. Hopefully they will be replaced with something else generated automatically.
Please note that the usage of <sup> HTML tags on this context is not proper as the tag is intended to be used only for typographical reasons. Here <small> tags should rather be used instead as long as we do not use CSS, but since GitHub strips these tags against its spec (https://github.github.com/gfm/#disallowed-raw-html-extension-) (also note: the <small> HTML tags are not stripped on Codeberg for example), this commit intentionally uses <sup> to have those breadcrumbs rendered in small points.

We no longer ask users to create Matrix user accounts for these bots:
- Postmoogle
- Honoroit
- Reminder Bot
Other bots and services (matrix-registration-bot, maubot, mjolnir,
Dimension, etc.) require an Access Token to run (not a password),
so this new role doesn't help for them.
It does help for the above bots though, and for defining your own
"initial user accounts" in the `matrix_user_creator_users_additional`
variable.
Since we'll likely have generic SQLite database importing
via [pgloader](https://pgloader.io/) for migrating bridge
databases from SQLite to Postgres, we'd rather avoid
calling the "import Synapse SQLite database" command
as just `--tags=import-sqlite-db`.
Similarly, for the media store, we'd like to mention that it's
related to Synapse as well.
We'd like to be more explicit, so as to be less confusing,
especially in light of other homeserver implementations
coming in the future.
This flag is necessary for Ansible to ask for the sudo password when using the non-root option as documented in the `hosts` file. Otherwise, Ansible errors out with `missing sudo password`.
This is a simplification and a way to make it consistent with
how we do Postgres imports (see 6d89319822), using
files coming from the server, not from the local machine.
By encouraging people NOT to use local files,
we potentially avoid problems such as #34 (Github issue),
where people would download `media_store` to their Mac's filesystem
and case-sensitivity issues will actually corrupt it.
By not encouraging local files usage, it's less likely that
people would copy (huge) directories to their local machine like that.
