## Summary:
In this commit, I add a bunch more documentation of how to use
genqlient, including a getting started guide, and a FAQ that also acts
as a how-to shaped index of common configuration options and extension
points. Much of this is adapted from the internal doc I wrote at Khan,
or reorganized from what was in the README. Speaking of which, now that
there are better places for all the details, I rewrote the README to be
a bit more of an overview and index of other documentation. (For now I
left the "unmaintained" notes, which I'll remove fairly soon once all
our ducks are in a row.)
Fixes#26, #39.

## Summary:
In this commit I reorganize much of our documentation into a new `docs`
directory, where there will hopefully be more room to grow and to
organize things in a user-friendly way. There's almost no net-new
documentation, although of course it's a great time to review it anyway.
In particular:
- I moved the documentation for the `genqlient.yaml` config file into an
example file instead of GoDoc (which now just points to the example
file); I think this will be a lot clearer for casual users.
- I moved the documentation for the `@genqlient` directive out of GoDoc
and into a GraphQL schema file (since while it's a comment it's all
real syntax), likewise, and made the `GenqlientDirective` type private
(since there's now nothing useful to do with it).
- I moved `DESIGN.md` and the logo into `docs/` (just to keep the
toplevel a bit cleaner), and separated the Contributing section of the
README into `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` (which github will automatically
link on various issue and PR pages).
This leaves it so that:
- README.md is the only documentation at the toplevel (and will become
just the high-level introduction as I add more user docs to `docs/`)
- GoDoc is only documentation for if you want to call genqlient
programmatically (which is fairly limited as the API surface is quite
small: it's now just Main, Generate, and Config, plus a constructor, a
single method, and a bunch of fields on the latter)
In future commits, I'll add some more new documentation to the `docs`
directory.
