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.

Makefile: add `TAG=v... make publish-release` rule for building and publishing a release for the given TAG
2021-11-08 10:29:10 +00:00
1. Create the following release tags:
* `git tag v1.xx.y` in `master` branch
* `git tag v1.xx.y-cluster` in `cluster` branch
* `git tag v1.xx.y-enterprise` in `enterprise` branch
* `git tag v1.xx.y-enterprise-cluster` in `enterprise-cluster` branch
2. Run `TAG=v1.xx.y make publish-release`. It will create `*.tar.gz` release archives with the corresponding `_checksums.txt` files inside `bin` directory and publish Docker images for the given `TAG`, `TAG-cluster`, `TAG-enterprise` and `TAG-enterprise-cluster`.

## Helm Charts
The helm chart repository [https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/)
### Bump the version of images.
In that case, don't need to bump the helm chart version
1. Need to update [`values.yaml`](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/values.yaml), bump version for `vmselect`, `vminsert` and `vmstorage`
2. Specify the correct version in [`Chart.yaml`](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/Chart.yaml)
3. Update version [README.md](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/README.md), specify the new version in the documentation
4. Push changes to master. `master` is a source of truth
5. Rebase `master` into `gh-pages` branch
6. Run `make package` which creates or updates zip file with the packed chart
7. Run `make merge`. It creates or updates metadata for charts in index.yaml
8. Push the changes to `gh-pages` branch
### Updating the chart.
1. Update chart version in [`Chart.yaml`](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/Chart.yaml)
2. Update [README.md](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/README.md) file, reflect changes in the documentation.
3. Repeat the procedure from step _4_ previous section.
