Since it is required to create and input a strong password (random strings) on vars.yml, this commit adds a password generator as a required software to configure and run the playbook. Password Tech, reportedly formerly known as "PWGen for Windows", is linked from https://github.com/jbernard/pwgen

* 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.

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.

* Update documentation related to server delegation
Summary:
- Add explanation about server delegation and DNS setting for it to docs/configuring-dns.md; "delegation" is a technical term and it is worth being explained simply
- Edit explanation about delegation to docs/configuring-playbook-base-domain-serving.md
- Use common expressions
- Simplify explanation about delegation on docs/configuring-well-known.md and move explanation about the alternative which avoids involving the base domain from that page to its upper documentation, which is docs/howto-server-delegation.md

This commit clarifies the hierarchy among pages for installation by moving articles for importing data and server delegation under the "installation" section, as there are multiple documentation pages which discuss a similar topic and you can easily get lost in those pages.
Also: remove the anchor link to configuring-playbook-base-domain-serving.md from configuring-playbook.md, since that procedure is not required on configuring options but on finalizing the installation, which is discussed on installing.md after that page.

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".
