474441: Create a "support" landing page
I've made some changes to the /users page. I've turned all of the
headings into verbs phrases and tweaked the content a bit. I've taken
out the mailing lists link because (a) I don't think that a link to a
bunch of mailing lists is useful, and (b) the mailing lists are for
committers and contributors (not users).
