4ed7dfa713 README.md: add CodingGuidelines and a link for Translators
Before being told how to submit patches, new contributors need
to be told how to code for, or how to contribute translation to,
the project.  Add references to the CodingGuidelines and the
README document on localization.

Also, split out the instructions to join the list and clarify
that subscription is via the majordomo address.

We use GitHub Markdown reference [2,3] with trailing empty square
brackets, to match existing text in the file.  On GitHub/GitLab
pages, the footer references matching the empty [] are not shown
on the web page. We could switch to using [text](url) form [1]
if we wanted to, but that is not done as part of this patch.

df7375d772 CI: use shorter names that fit in UX tooltips
Change the names used for the GitHub CI workflows to be short enough
to (mostly) fit in the pop-up tool-tips that GitHub shows in the
commit view. I.e. when mouse-clicking on the passing or failing
check-mark next to the commit subject.

These names are seemingly truncated to 17-20 characters followed by
three dots ("..."). Since a "CI/PR / " prefix is added to them the job
names looked like this before (windows-test and vs-test jobs omitted):

    CI/PR / ci-config (p...
    CI/PR / windows-buil...
    CI/PR / vs-build (pu...

    CI/PR / dockerized (...
    CI/PR / dockerized (...
    CI/PR / static-anal...
    CI/PR / sparse (pu...
    CI/PR / documenta...

By omitting the "/PR" from the top-level name, and pushing the
$jobname to the front we'll now instead get:

    CI / config (push)
    CI / win build (push...
    CI / win+VS build (...
    CI / linux-clang (ub...

    CI / Linux32 (daald/...
    CI / pedantic (fedor...
    CI / static-analysis...
    CI / sparse (push)...
    CI / documentation

We then have no truncation in the expanded view. See [1] for how it
looked before, [2] for a currently visible CI run using this commit,
and [3] for the GitHub workflow syntax involved being changed here.

Let's also use the existing "pool" field as before. It's occasionally
useful to know we're running on say ubuntu v.s. fedora. The "-latest"
suffix is useful to some[4], and since it's now at the end it doesn't
hurt readability in the short view compared to saying "ubuntu" or
"macos".

may have more longevity going forward[1], let's recommend people use it
for finding or referencing messages.

39ffebd23b README: adjust for final Azure Pipeline ID
During the six months of development of the Azure Pipelines support, the
patches went through quite a few iterations of changes, and to test
those iterations, a temporary build definition was used.

In the meantime, Azure Pipelines support made it to `master`, and we now
have a regular Azure Pipeline, installed via the common GitHub App
workflow. This new pipeline has a different name (git.git instead of
test-git.git), and a new ID (11 instead of 2).

Let's adjust the badge in our README to reflect that final shape of the
Azure Pipeline.

2a00502b14 note git-security@googlegroups.com in more places
Add a mention of the security mailing list to the README, and to
Documentation/SubmittingPatches..  2caa7b8d27 ("git manpage: note
git-security@googlegroups.com", 2018-03-08) already added it to the
man page, but for developers either the README, or the documentation
on how to contribute (SubmittingPatches) may be the first place to
look.

Use the same wording as we already have on the git-scm.com website and
in the man page for the README, while the wording is adjusted in
SubmittingPatches to match the surrounding document better.

bcd886d897 README: create HTTP/HTTPS links from URLs in Markdown
Markdown supports automatic links by surrounding URLs with
angle brackets, as documented in
<https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink>

While we're at it, update URLs to avoid redirecting clients for
git-scm.com (by using HTTPS) and public-inbox.org (by adding a
trailing slash).

54471fdcc3 README: replace gmane link with public-inbox
The general status and future of gmane is unclear at this
point, but certainly it does not seem to be carrying
gmane.comp.version-control.git at all anymore. Let's point
to public-inbox.org, which seems to be the favored archive
on the list these days (and which uses message-ids in its
URLs, making the links somewhat future-proof).

a217f07388 README.md: move down historical explanation about the name
The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to
the description and link to the documentation.

Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but
other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary.

This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance
by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a
historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of
mind of current developers.

28513c4f56 README.md: don't call git stupid in the title
"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but
hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes
Git more accuralety.

Also, "stupid" can be seen as offensive by some people. Let's not use it
in the very first words of the README.

The new formulation is taken from the description of the Debian package.
