Consolidate Code of Conduct and technical guidelines
This merge request consolidates the Code of Conduct by splitting out the specific (technical) fora guidelines (moved back to the Wiki as "General guidelines"). The wiki article is linked to from a new "Further reading" section that explains its relation to the Terms of Service and the requirement of all users to review them before each use of any of the communication channels.
Additionally, the various subsections in the CoC are merged into more concise overarching sections (while largely leaving the wording intact).
The "Enforcement" section has been defined more clearly to point out more streamlined points of action.

Such 213 a warning will usually be communicated in private to the user and needs to be acknowledged in 214 writing in order to make sure that the user has read and understood the scope of their 215 transgression. If the warning goes unheeded, further action will be taken, commonly resulting in a 216 temporary or permanent suspension. 217 218 All actions taken, like warnings or suspensions, will be communicated to the affected user(s) in changed this line in version 4 of the diff

Are the "fora guidelines" still considered a legal document that needs a lawyer approval? If not, I'd like for it to reside in the ArchWiki instead. Many of them link to the wiki anyway.
