Some WIP on documentation refactoring (#2659)
* Additional .gitignore entries

* Merge a bunch of small articles about system tables into single one

* Merge a bunch of small articles about formats into single one

* Adapt table with formats to English docs too

* Add SPb meetup link to main page

* Move Utilities out of top level of docs (the location is probably not yet final) + translate couple articles

* Merge MacOS.md into build_osx.md

* Move Data types higher in ToC

* Publish changelog on website alongside documentation

* Few fixes for en/table_engines/file.md

* Use smaller header sizes in changelogs

* Group up table engines inside ToC

* Move table engines out of top level too

* Specificy in ToC that query language is SQL based. Thats a bit excessive, but catches eye.

* Move stuff that is part of query language into respective folder

* Move table functions lower in ToC

* Lost redirects.txt update

* Do not rely on comments in yaml + fix few ru titles

* Extract major parts of queries.md into separate articles

* queries.md has been supposed to be removed

* Fix weird translation

* Fix a bunch of links

* There is only table of contents left

* "Query language" is actually part of SQL abbreviation

* Change filename in README.md too

* fix mistype

# Functions for working with URLs
All these functions don't follow the RFC. They are maximally simplified for improved performance.
## Functions that extract part of a URL
If there isn't anything similar in a URL, an empty string is returned.
### protocol
Returns the protocol. Examples: http, ftp, mailto, magnet...
### domain
Gets the domain.
### domainWithoutWWW
Returns the domain and removes no more than one 'www.' from the beginning of it, if present.
### topLevelDomain
Returns the top-level domain. Example: .ru.
### firstSignificantSubdomain
Returns the "first significant subdomain". This is a non-standard concept specific to Yandex.Metrica. The first significant subdomain is a second-level domain if it is 'com', 'net', 'org', or 'co'. Otherwise, it is a third-level domain. For example, firstSignificantSubdomain ('<https://news.yandex.ru/>') = 'yandex ', firstSignificantSubdomain ('<https://news.yandex.com.tr/>') = 'yandex '. The list of "insignificant" second-level domains and other implementation details may change in the future.
### cutToFirstSignificantSubdomain
Returns the part of the domain that includes top-level subdomains up to the "first significant subdomain" (see the explanation above).
For example, `cutToFirstSignificantSubdomain('https://news.yandex.com.tr/') = 'yandex.com.tr'`.
### path
Returns the path. Example: `/top/news.html` The path does not include the query string.
### pathFull
The same as above, but including query string and fragment. Example: /top/news.html?page=2\#comments
### queryString
Returns the query string. Example: page=1&lr=213. query-string does not include the initial question mark, as well as \# and everything after \#.
### fragment
Returns the fragment identifier. fragment does not include the initial hash symbol.
### queryStringAndFragment
Returns the query string and fragment identifier. Example: page=1\#29390.
### extractURLParameter(URL, name)
Returns the value of the 'name' parameter in the URL, if present. Otherwise, an empty string. If there are many parameters with this name, it returns the first occurrence. This function works under the assumption that the parameter name is encoded in the URL exactly the same way as in the passed argument.
### extractURLParameters(URL)
Returns an array of name=value strings corresponding to the URL parameters. The values are not decoded in any way.
### extractURLParameterNames(URL)
Returns an array of name strings corresponding to the names of URL parameters. The values are not decoded in any way.
### URLHierarchy(URL)
Returns an array containing the URL, truncated at the end by the symbols /,? in the path and query-string. Consecutive separator characters are counted as one. The cut is made in the position after all the consecutive separator characters. Example:
### URLPathHierarchy(URL)
The same as above, but without the protocol and host in the result. The / element (root) is not included. Example: the function is used to implement tree reports the URL in Yandex. Metric.
```text
URLPathHierarchy('https://example.com/browse/CONV-6788') =
[
'/browse/',
'/browse/CONV-6788'
]
```
### decodeURLComponent(URL)
Returns the decoded URL.
Example:
```sql
SELECT decodeURLComponent('http://127.0.0.1:8123/?query=SELECT%201%3B') AS DecodedURL;
```
```text
┌─DecodedURL─────────────────────────────┐
│ http://127.0.0.1:8123/?query=SELECT 1; │
└────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Functions that remove part of a URL.
If the URL doesn't have anything similar, the URL remains unchanged.
### cutWWW
Removes no more than one 'www.' from the beginning of the URL's domain, if present.
### cutQueryString
Removes query string. The question mark is also removed.
### cutFragment
Removes the fragment identifier. The number sign is also removed.
### cutQueryStringAndFragment
Removes the query string and fragment identifier. The question mark and number sign are also removed.
### cutURLParameter(URL, name)
Removes the 'name' URL parameter, if present. This function works under the assumption that the parameter name is encoded in the URL exactly the same way as in the passed argument.
