Add a section about support to the top of the README (#7392)
Continuation of #7379

Adds a section in the README telling people to go to #synapse:matrix.org instead of using github issues. I'm not entirely sure about placing it above the install section but then people are likely to first seek support when installing (if something goes boom), and it's probably better to have it as high as possible anyway so people actually see it.

Make it clearer that #synapse:matrix.org is our support channel (#7379)
This PR moves the "support is in #synapse:matrix.org" in the bug report template outside of the comment as some people seem to ignore what's in the comments, and phrase it a bit more like the support request template. It also adds a default issue template that says the same thing. It's also adding a notice about the security disclosure to both the default template and the bug report one.

It also adds a badge to the top of the README with an alt text saying about the same message if the badge doesn't load (e.g. if matrix.org is slow).

Fixes #6826

Move things from README.rst to UPDATE.md (#4569)
The readme was getting pretty unmanageable and hard to grok. This is an attempt to simplify things by moving installation instructions from the README to a separate file. I've tried to resist the temptation to fix too much stuff while I'm here - it mostly just copies-and-pastes from one doc to the other, and changes from rst to md syntax.

76c80e3fdf The project matrix-synapse-auto-deploy does not seem to be maintained anymore.
It has been over a year since any code has been commited. Some of the relevant links in
the documentation are broken, but since no pull requests are being accepted, they
won't get fixed. We should probably remove this from the README.

When installing on CentOS7 I wans't able to follow README instructions to
install due to errors. I was missing libsodium in order to compile
python dependencies.

Default version of Python pip is really old and therefore setuptools
upgrade ended with error as well. In order to be able to continue I
needed to upgrade pip as well.
