1854c70bf9 Replace all page contents with links to the new location
This trick was performed via:

  git ls-files \*.md |
  while read f
  do
    pr_url=https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-for-windows.github.io/pull/59
    url=https://gitforwindows.org/${f%.md}
    echo "This wiki page [has been migrated]($pr_url) to a new location: [$url]($url)" >"$f"
  done

There are two pages where this does not make sense, `0.-Index` and
`_Footer`, which will be handled in the next commit.
