Abdessamad Derraz c5ba17d3dd refactor: fit setup pages in 220 words
The new answers are shortened and the safety list, shown in full on the home page, is linked from each setup page instead of repeated. The setup ceiling stays at 220.

"""The pages a newcomer reads stay short, plain and quick to act on.
The Start here pages ran 460 to 1,950 words, the first command of the
download page sat 2.8 phone screens down, and a sentence of 57 words listed
every platform's check. Each budget below is a number on the built page:
words before the first action, sentence and block length, words per page, and
a list of words a newcomer does not know or does not need.
Run ``python -m tests.test_site_copy --report docs`` to print the measures of
every page held here.
