docs: grouped changelog docs, removed old make commands, replaced docs in root README with official docs links (#6727)
### 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:
```sh
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](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#page-53) and will look like:
```sh
* Trying 127.0.0.1:8428...
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8428 (#0)

Cluster version of VictoriaMetrics:
```sh
curl -v http://<vmselect>:8481/delete/0/prometheus/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series -d 'match[]=vm_http_request_errors_total'
```
The expected output should return [HTTP Status 204](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#page-53) and will look like:
```sh

VictoriaMetrics accepts `limit` query arg for `/api/v1/series` handlers for limiting the number of returned entries. For example, the query to `/api/v1/series?limit=5` returns a sample of up to 5 series, while ignoring the rest. If the provided `limit` value exceeds the corresponding `-search.maxSeries` command-line flag values, then limits specified in the command-line flags are used.

### TCP and UDP
#### How to send data from OpenTSDB-compatible agents to VictoriaMetrics
Turned off by default. Enable OpenTSDB receiver in VictoriaMetrics by setting `-opentsdbListenAddr` command-line flag.
*If run from docker, '-opentsdbListenAddr' port should be exposed*
Single-node VictoriaMetrics:
```sh
echo "put foo.bar.baz `date +%s` 123 tag1=value1 tag2=value2" | nc -N localhost 4242
```
Cluster version of VictoriaMetrics:
```sh
echo "put foo.bar.baz `date +%s` 123 tag1=value1 tag2=value2" | nc -N http://<vminsert> 4242
```
Enable HTTP server for OpenTSDB /api/put requests by setting `-opentsdbHTTPListenAddr` command-line flag.
Single-node VictoriaMetrics:
```sh
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '[{"metric":"foo","value":45.34},{"metric":"bar","value":43}]' http://localhost:4242/api/put
```
Cluster version of VictoriaMetrics:
