Reorganize website docs (#1806)
Updates to chisel3 documentation for website: * guard code examples with mdoc and fix errors encountered along the way * move some website content here vs splitting the content across two repos * Bring in the interval-types and loading memories content so that it will be visible from the website * remove all references to the wiki (deprecated) * Remove reference to Wiki from the README * fix tabbing and compile of chisel3-vs-chisel2 section * Appendix: faqs now guarded and compile * FAQs: move to resources section

`Annotation`s are metadata containers associated with zero or more "things" in a FIRRTL circuit.
Commonly, `Annotation`s are used to communicate information from Chisel to a specific, custom FIRRTL `Transform`.
In this way `Annotation`s can be viewed as the "arguments" that a specific `Transform` consumes.

Compiling this circuit to Verilog will then result in the `InfoTransform` running and the added `println`s showing information about the components annotated.
