Update FAQ, rules/guidelines etc. for #208
This commit also removed some of the 'new marks' in the guidelines and rules (as they're no longer new) and some that were in the FAQ (which only happened when they were changed over to the FAQ). Removed problematic FAQs (per discussion). This required renumbering. Updated references of chkentry to chksubmit (only a few references to chkentry remain now - advising contestants to not use it but simply stating it is for the judges and it is what chksubmit uses). Added note in guidelines about gotos becoming 'old' (as Landon told me it is something Leo wanted in the next guidelines thanks to me). Just so Landon does not forget my C sins. :-) I have regenerated the html files but the guidelines.html and rules.html files have not been link-checked as these files will be modified by the judges a fair amount so there is no point yet. I believe I got references to nuked FAQs out but it's possible some were missed. The quick-start.md and next/submit.md (and their html files) were updated as well to refer to chksubmit instead of chkentry. It is quite possible some things were missed but this should help move things closer to getting ready for IOCCC29 in December.
