Improve Documentation

This is a smallish attempt to improve openshot's sparse documentation
(issue OpenShot#2989).
The getting started page only contains an installation description, so name
it so. Improve the quick tutorial somewhat (at least according to my taste)
but still keep it quick. Improve the start of the "Files" pages somewhat.

far more needed is a description of export options that is useable for
end users but that is another task.

+
+Linux
+^^^^^
+
+Most Linux distributions have a version of OpenShot in their software
+repositories, so installation should be easy. Some might have an
+outdated version though (make sure to check the version number). The
+easiest way to ensure you have the very latest version, is to download
+an AppImage from the `project website
+<https://www.openshot.org/download/>`_. Once downloaded, right click on
+the AppImage file, choose Properties, and mark the file as
+**Executable**. Now, go ahead and double click the AppImage to launch
+it.
+
+Mac
+^^^
+
+Download the DMG file from the `project website
+<https://www.openshot.org/download/>`_, double click it, and then drag
+the OpenShot application icon into your **Applications**
+shortcut. This is very similar to how most other Mac applications are
+installed. Now launch OpenShot from Launchpad.
+
+Windows
+^^^^^^^
+
+Download the Windows installer executable from the `project website
+<https://www.openshot.org/download/>`_, double click it, and follow the
+directions on screen. Once completed, OpenShot will be installed and
