This reorganizes the documentation index to be more focused on the in-tree docs, and to clean up the style, and it also adds @steveklabnik's pointer guide.
I was reading through the tutorial and manual pdfs and noticed some of the code blocks have glitches in their formatting:
Putting empty lines around the blocks fixes this. I did a search through the other markdown files and made the change there as well.
This is not done yet but I'm posting it to get feedback.
The wiki has a ton of different tutorials/manuals/faq and so forth. Instead of migrating all of them right now, I just migrated the following:
* The general main wiki page
* Language FAQ
* Project FAQ
If this feels reasonable, please comment so that I can continue with confidence.

Previously this was an `rtabort!`, indicating a runtime bug. Promote
this to a more intentional abort and print a (slightly) more

Can't test this sense our test suite can't handle an abort exit.
I consider this to close#910, and that we should open another issue about implementing less conservative semantics here.

Currently any line starting with `#` is filtered from the output,
including line like `#[deriving]`; this patch makes it so lines are only
filtered when followed by a space similar to the current behaviour of
the tutorial/manual tester.
