Purpose of this PR

More work on the Actions Reference pages.

This one took ages because while it covers very few pages, one of those is the landing page.

So we have here:

  • I divided the landing page by category, and organised by the UI in each category. I think it's easier to scan. I did not, however, change the TOC - that's still alphabatised. Would appreciate your opinion on this, @JonMUnity .
  • Also, note there are comments on that page. Feel very free to answer :)
  • Rewrote Center Pivot.
  • Combined three Set Pivot To Selection pages into one. There wasn't any real point in making them three pages, as there wasn't much interesting info to distinguish them. I used the nicest of the three diagrams as a single example.
  • Some small edits to pages from PR Update SettingsProvider API to 2019.1 #1.

Spoiler alert: The next few PRs will be based on the new order of the pages in the landing page.

Merged into one page.
My thinking was that a user won't know whether they need a loop or ring selection until they've read the docs. Therefore, those two options need to be directly compared.
Some of those are guesses, but they'll do for now. I'll tidy it up again later.
Not sure the Shift feature still exists; asked about it.

Note to reviewers: this is a placeholder; the page itself will be written in a different PR.

[[From the what's new page: * Added a new [Selection X-Ray](preferences.md#sel-xray) option to highlight hidden element selections with a muted color. The default shortcut is **Ctrl/Alt+Shift+X** (modifiable in the Shortcuts Manager), and you can also access it through the ProBuilder menu (**Tools** > **ProBuilder** > **Interaction** > **Toggle X Ray**).]]

[[why is this both a preference an an action?]]-->

I don't really know much about this feature. @modrimkus, can you explain this one?

@suearkinunity It toggles if selected elements that are occluded by geometry are still visualized.

For why it's a pref but also has a shortcut - I'm not sure.

I have a feeling I don't want this change. Please don't merge until I've figured it out.

I was using a couple of wrong files.

Also, I'm killing the Tools vs Actions page. First of all, we can't keep calling them actions because Actions is a category of Actions, and we can't do that to our poor users. Second, this page duplicates information that's better presented in its own context, such as creating meshes and the so-called actions. The conceptual difference between tool and action is really not something users need to worry themselves with.
Got rid of the inset page, because it's just a way to use Extrude
