Aaron Suen 9cdd00f7c9 Significant docs reorg
- Categorize types of issues, since I find I pick through the list
  not based on absolute priority but based on what kind of things
  I feel like working on, e.g. gameplay improvements vs. code
  quality.
- Clean out the icebox.  Reinstate a few things at bottom of other
  lists, clean out the rest.

GENERAL POLICY:
Version support should go as far back as:
- One official minor release (e.g. #.#) prior to the latest across all
platforms.
- The latest officially supported release for each platform.
This means that during the 5.2 release, we support 5.2, 5.1, and 5.0
(because android is stuck on 5.0). When 5.3 is released and brings
back current android support, we will drop 5.0 and 5.1, since all
platforms will be at 5.3, and thus 5.2 will be the earliest.
Version support should go as far forward as:
Support the current latest release at all times. Test the game out on
dev versions so we can be prepared to support the next release as soon
as it happens.
NEW MT RELEASE PROCESS:
- Reevaluate the policy and decide which version(s) need EOS
- Check CDB for version strings and update .cdbrelease.lua
- Check this doc for special TODO items related to release
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- After 5.0 EOS:
- Add an on_prejoin check to disallow clients with proto version
too low.
- Remove issue7020 workaround, reevaluate other workarounds.
- After 5.2 EOS:
- Change bandolier slot items back to upright_sprite
