[Replicant] Wiki revamp: tree-like structure, duplicates, outdated and deprecated

[Fil Lupin]

Hi David,
great work of refactoring the wiki.
I accepted to gather the suggestion and... I miss time, so thank you. :)

Here are a few remarks about your questions/suggestions:
1. I agree deleting "Replicant" prefix which is redundont
2. about pages https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/RecoveryInstallationWithHeimdall and https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReplicantInstallationHeimdall I am not sure what you mean but they do not seem duplicated to me since the 1st one explain how to install recovery and the 2d one to install replicant
Am I wrong?

For some pages, it probably means stopping support for v4.2, which makes sense but probably should be done by creating a page to help updating from 4.2 to 6 and then 9 (included app & app data).
Is that what you meant?
