  1. Remove all support of the built-in help system

    The support of the built-in help accessible from spokes and hubs of all user
    interfaces is removed. The `help_directory` Anaconda configuration option is
    deprecated and removed. The `anaconda-user-help` package will be deprecated
    and removed.
    
    Anaconda will aim to make user interfaces self-descriptive and encourage users
    to use the official documentation of specific Linux distributions available
    on-line.
    
    Additional notes:
    
    * The Fedora built-in help content was outdated. Last change of the content
      happened six years ago (see the `anaconda-user-help` repository) and there
      is no process for keeping the help content up to date.
    
    * The RHEL built-in help content was generated from the official on-line
      installation guide. However, the release process of this content wasn't
      always straightforward and there were issues with the scripts that generated
      this content.
    
    * The built-in help content was displayed by the `yelp` tool. This tool was
      a common source of bugs, so it is desirable to drop this dependency.
