doc: overhaul documentation
This commit cleans up the README and splits portions of it out into a user guide (GUIDE.md) and a FAQ (FAQ.md). The README now provides a small list of documentation "quick" links to various parts of the docs. This commit also does a few other minor touchups.

ripgrep (rg) recursively searches your current directory for a regex pattern.
|
||||
By default, ripgrep will respect your `.gitignore` and automatically skip
|
||||
hidden files/directories and binary files.
|
||||
|
||||
ripgrep's regex engine uses finite automata and guarantees linear time
|
||||
searching. Because of this, features like backreferences and arbitrary
|
||||
lookaround are not supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that ripgrep may abort unexpectedly when using default settings if it
|
||||
searches a file that is simultaneously truncated. This behavior can be avoided
|
||||
by passing the --no-mmap flag.
|
||||
|
||||
ripgrep supports configuration files. Set RIPGREP_CONFIG_PATH to a
|
||||
configuration file. The file can specify one shell argument per line. Lines
|
||||
starting with '#' are ignored. For more details, see the man page or the
