### Describe Your Changes
- replace docs in root README with a link to official documentation
- remove old make commands for documentation
- remove redundant "VictoriaMetrics" from document titles
- merge changelog docs into a section
- rm content of Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.md as it can be included from docs/README
- add basic information to README in the root folder, so it will be useful for github users
- rm `picture` tag from docs/README as it was needed for github only, we don't display VM logo at docs.victoriametrics.com
- update `## documentation` section in docs/README to reflect the changes
- rename DD pictures, as they now belong to docs/README

/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series
Deletes time series from VictoriaMetrics
Note that handler accepts any HTTP method, so sending a GET
request to /api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series
will result in deletion of time series.
Single-node VictoriaMetrics:
curl -v http://localhost:8428/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series -d 'match[]=vm_http_request_errors_total'
The expected output should return HTTP Status 204 and will look like:
* Trying 127.0.0.1:8428...
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8428 (#0)
