This adds a step in the instructions to switch to the production buildmaster at the very end (after explicit approval), and updates the early instruction to start with the builder pointed at the staging buildmaster.

This is based on conversations with a couple of folks currently running buildbots. There's a couple pieces which didn't make it in, but this tries to cover the common themes.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D114325
We generally prefer build bots which build each change as they come in as long as they can keep up. This generates much higher quality feedback to a developer. However, the code structure is such that we currently default new builders to batching.
This change updates the getting started instruction for a builder to explicitly advocate for not collapsing requests.

We don't have much publicly documented about how build bots are maintained, and who has what responsibility with regards to the bots themselves and failures they report.
This change adds some basic framing on the topic. It is intended to simplify document long standing practice, and to avoid introducing any new policy elements. I do want to propose a couple of changes, but those will happen with their own review and broader discussion.

Commit be9f322e8dc530a56f03356aad31fa9031b27e26 moved the list of workers from
slaves.py to workers.py, but the documentation in "How To Add A Builder" was
never updated and now references a non-existing file. This fixes that.

Recently [1], there was an upgrade to the version of buildbot being
deployed. The new setup will still work with old buildslaves but I
thought it might be a good idea to update the documentation to reflect,
that you now can use a newer buildbot version to when setting up your
worker (formely known as slave).
The upgrade from buildbot 0.8.5 to 2.8.5 went a long with a transition
to a new "worker" terminology [2] which is also reflected by this
change.

Summary:
This also adds docs to suggest that maintainers of buildbots for
experimental backends should use this buildmaster.

Before we learned about :doc:, we used :ref: and put a dummy link at the
top of each page. Don't do that anymore.
This fixes PR14891 as a special case.
