Tobias Kunze 4a954cfd11 Fixed #30573 -- Rephrased documentation to avoid words that minimise the involved difficulty.
This patch does not remove all occurrences of the words in question.
Rather, I went through all of the occurrences of the words listed
below, and judged if they a) suggested the reader had some kind of
knowledge/experience, and b) if they added anything of value (including
tone of voice, etc). I left most of the words alone. I looked at the
following words:

- simply/simple
- easy/easier/easiest
- obvious
- just
- merely
- straightforward
- ridiculous

Thanks to Carlton Gibson for guidance on how to approach this issue, and
to Tim Bell for providing the idea. But the enormous lion's share of
thanks go to Adam Johnson for his patient and helpful review.

Juan Catalano 4e25198ec2 Fixed #20104 -- Changed VersionDirective in order to avoid ambiguity.
As explained in ticket #20104, the use of versionchanged/versionadded
was confusing.

To solve this ambiguity these directives no longer accept a second
argument but now they only receive the version number (1st arg) and then
a content with the proper comment.

This allows to make these links more resilent to changes in the target URLs.
