Change docs link for Wiki Markdown and improve docs
What does this MR do and why?
UI:
- Fix help link on wiki edit view to point to https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/wiki/markdown/. The previous link points at a non-existing anchor https://docs.gitlab.com/user/markdown/#wiki-specific-markdown.
- The link now doesn't depend on generic
markdownHelpPathwith a fragment.
- The link now doesn't depend on generic
- Edit UI text so it doesn't say simply.
- Use link text that follows https://design.gitlab.com/patterns/contextual-help/#link-text.
Docs:
- Explain what the page slug is.
- Document all link types available in wikis in https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/wiki/markdown/. Previously, https://docs.gitlab.com/user/markdown/#gitlab-specific-references was the only place where you could learn about
[[wiki-style]]links.
