Split, shift, recombine basic MR information

Amy Qualls requested to merge 324953-mr-main-page into master

What does this MR do?

In the quest to continue rebuilding the main merge request page (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/) into something that's actually useful, instead of depending on it + https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/getting_started.html in tandem, continue to shift information around to new homes.

  • Adds doc/user/project/merge_requests/commits.md as a new page as a companion to doc/user/project/merge_requests/changes.md.
  • Adds doc/user/project/merge_requests/widgets.md as a new page as a home for all the various things we need to say about the merge request widgets area. Small now. Won't stay that way.
  • Builds a new subheading explaining the secondary nav (overview, commits, pipelines, changes) on a merge request
  • Adds a new subheading explaining the existence of the sidebar on the Overview page.

The new pages aren't great / polished / complete, but the amount of random crap dumped in getting_started.md, reviews/index.md, and changes/index.md is starting to drop, and index.md might even become useful someday at this rate...
