Since one of the quick start guide's goals is to set up an own user account, this commit adds the note about creating multiple accounts/users to installing.md and registering-users.md only. It should be fine as registering-users.md is linked from quick-start.md
Also:
- On installing.md and quick-start.md, change instruction from what encourages to select "admin=yes" or "admin=no" to what encourages to use "admin=yes", since your user account will be the sole user on the server, as long as you set up the server by following the documentation
- Remove the link to registering-users.md from quick-start.md as the documentation is already linked above, under the header of the section
- Sync docs/installing.md with other documentation

Also: move the detailed explanation about "just roles" from installing.md to maintenance-upgrading-services.md
TBD: create a dedicated documentation for the "just" program and the concept of its "recipe" (shortcut of commands)

This commit adds mentions to "make roles" and a note about the preference of ansible-playbook commands over the just "recipes".
quick-start.md intends to be referred by those who have never used the playbook to set up a server, so it is safer to regard that it is not clear to them what exactly the just "recipes" are made of, ie. it takes some time and experience until someone understands simplicity of them. For beginners, I believe that we should prefer the basics over simplicity, from the educational point of view.
If someone feels tired of using the same command repetitively, then the person will have been already well accustomed to the way how the playbook works and how the server is supposed to be maintained, and the person is "qualified" to use the just "recipes", and should be able to use them with confidence, distinguishing the playbook tags from the "recipes", for example, from "just install-all" and "ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=install-all". Such level of familiarity and experience should not be expected on the quick start guide.

Since it is required to create and input a strong password (random strings) on vars.yml, this commit adds a password generator as a required software to configure and run the playbook. Password Tech, reportedly formerly known as "PWGen for Windows", is linked from https://github.com/jbernard/pwgen

* Update docs/installing.md: add "Create your user account" section before "Finalize the installation"
docs/registering-users.md has correctly instructed that service delegation should be conducted after creating user accounts to finalize the installation process.
Since it does not really make sense to claim that installation has finished if there is not a user, this commit adds instruction to create a user account before configuring server delegation.

The current ToC was added by 065b70203ded30412d3d03ff5ad3e885f55ab78b, but the links were initially added by ef903fe544 as a navigation to sections under them. This commit replaces the ToC with such navigation.
Also, one of the sections was removed by f4f3d575207c6207b53d1e61d9b877f30971b6ee, and since matrix-nginx-proxy was removed, it seems to me that letting Synapse handle Federation by itself would be simpler than the other method which requires setting another webserver. Therefore this commit switches the alternative method from using another webserver to using Synapse.

Summary:
- Add explanation about server delegation and DNS setting for it to docs/configuring-dns.md; "delegation" is a technical term and it is worth being explained simply
- Edit explanation about delegation to docs/configuring-playbook-base-domain-serving.md
- Use common expressions
- Simplify explanation about delegation on docs/configuring-well-known.md and move explanation about the alternative which avoids involving the base domain from that page to its upper documentation, which is docs/howto-server-delegation.md
