Update documentation to make it easier for users to find the right content for them (#1016)

* First pass of updating documentation for new users

Trying to look at this from the perspective of someone new to the
project, and create some pathways to make it easier for people to get to
the content they are looking for.

* Make it clear that docker is doing the setup

* Link installation again from the main README

* Add some docs about the github actions

* Add markdown link check

* Move git installation first

* Add config for markdown link checker

* Fix some links

* Correct handling of repo root relative links

* Fix broken links in data roadmap

* Fix more broken links

* Fix more links

* Ignore link that's returning a 403 to the checker

It actually works if you go in a browser.

* Fix another broken link

* Ignore more urls that don't work

* Update the readme under docs

* Add some more dataset links

* More strongly call out the quickstart

* Try to call out even more the quickstart link

* Fix dead links

* Add note about initialization time

* Remove broken link from spanish install guide

These will be updated later with a full translation
