Reorganize documentation for new website (#213)
This PR should be merged after the new website is deployed.
- [x] Rename files
- [x] Add front matter section to all `.md` files in the book (necessary for Zola)
- [x] Change all internal links to use Zola's linking system that checks broken links
- [x] Some updates to documentation contents and organization
