* Update docs/configuring-well-known.md: remove redundant information
For example, anchor links to the headers are distractive as these headers are displayed by scrolling a bit.
Also: edit section headers

* Update docs/configuring-well-known.md: recategorize the sections about installing well-known files on the base domain's server
The commit merges the content of the option 2 with the section above, as both explain how to serve the base domain via the playbook and claim it is the easy way of installing well-known files, and therefore the content is repetitive.

* Update docs/installing.md: replace the anchor link to docs/configuring-well-known.md with one to docs/howto-server-delegation.md
Service Discovery via .well-known files is one of the two ways for server delegation, and it is possible to set up server delegation via a DNS SRV record instead (though it is more advanced and complicated), so it should be more proper to use the words "delegation/redirection" than "service discovery".

In nginx reverse-proxy, when the upstream server relies on SNI, the reverser-proxy may return 502 by follow error:
```
*10 SSL_do_handshake() failed (SSL: error:0A000410:SSL routines::sslv3 alert handshake failure:SSL alert number 40) while SSL handshaking to upstream, client: 172.19.0.1, server: example.host, request: "GET /.well-known/matrix/client HTTP/2.0", upstream: "https://<ip>/.well-known/matrix/client", host: "<domain>"
```
This problem often arises when the upstream server is behind the CDN, setting `proxy_ssl_server_name` to `on` will solve it.

This does 2 things:
- it fixes the syntax for `matrix_id`. Starting strings with `@` is
invalid YAML, so such strings need to be wrapped in single or double
quotes
- it makes use of the `matrix_domain` variable instead of hardcoding the
domain name. This should be more and mistake-proof (typos or people
mistaking their domain - matrix. vs base domain)
With most people on Synapse v0.99+ and Synapse v1.0 now available,
we should no longer try to be backward compatible with Synapse 0.34,
because this just complicates the instructions for no good reason.
This is provoked by Github issue #46.
No client had made use of the well-known mechanism
so far, so the set up performed by this playbook was not tested
and turned out to be a little deficient.
Even though /.well-known/matrix/client is usually requested with a
simple request (no preflight), it's still considered cross-origin
and [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS)
applies. Thus, the file always needs to be served with the appropriate
`Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header.
Github issue #46 attempts to fix it at the "reverse-proxying" layer,
which may work, but would need to be done for every server.
It's better if it's done "upstream", so that all reverse-proxy
configurations can benefit.
