*: Assorted internal-reference cleanups

This is mostly replacing
https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/... links with
relative links, because relative links are easier to maintain.  For
example, if you rename a.md to b.md in a feature branch, updating an
/a.md to /b.md target will work immediately (e.g. during pull-request
review), while updating
https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/a.md to
https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/b.md will only
work after your branch lands the rename in master.

I'm not sure why the #L1454 fragment was part of the old
sig-governance template sigs.yaml link, but it's been there since the
template landed in 68658bf (Provide short template for SIG
governance, 2018-02-23, kubernetes#1830).  I've removed it in this commit.

The Kubernetes Charter README link in the sig-governance template
could just be:

  [Kubernetes Charter README]: README.md

but I've based it on the project root and back to make life easier
on new SIGs which copy/paste the file to a new location in this
repository.

I personally prefer targets that use ../ for referencing other
directories within a project, because those also work with generic
Markdown tools (e.g. Emacs' Markdown mode).  I've gone with /-rooted
targets in this commit as requested in
/sig-contributor-experience/markdown-link-style-guide.md.

I've also chased a few files and anchors as they've moved around,
e.g. the OBSOLETE_templates.md rename from 18958f8 (addressing Brians
comments, 2017-09-06, kubernetes#1010) and the "and maintenance" header addition
from f471f6b (Add new contact info for Paris and me, 2017-10-17,

This commit isn't complete, but it's a step in the right direction and
all I had time for tonight ;).

 Given the pitfalls of parameterization and configuration DSLs, as mentioned at the beginning of this document, configuration tooling should manipulate configuration **data**, not convert configuration to code nor other marked-up syntax, and, in the case of Kubernetes, this data should primarily contain specifications of the **literal Kubernetes API resources** required to deploy the application in the manner desired by the user.

 What is more problematic is that our client libraries, schema validators, yaml/json parsers/decoders, initializers, and protobuf encodings all require that all specified fields have valid values, so parameters cannot currently be left in non-string (e.g., int, bool) fields in actual resources. Additionally, the API server requires at least complete/final resource names to be specified, and strategic merge also requires all merge keys to be specified. Therefore, some amount of pre-instantiation (though not necessarily client-side) transformation is necessary to create valid resources, and we may want to explicitly store the output, or the fields should just contain the default values initially. Parameterized fields could be automatically converted to patches to produce valid resources. Such a transformation could be made reversible, unlike traditional substitution approaches, since the patches could be preserved (e.g., using annotations). The Template API supported the declaration of parameter names, display names, descriptions, default values, required/optional, and types (string, int, bool, base64), and both string and raw json substitutions. If we were to update that specification, we could use the same mechanism for both parameter validation and ConfigMap validation, so that the same mechanism could be used for env substitution and substitution of values of other fields. As mentioned in the [env validation issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/4210#issuecomment-305555589), we should consider a subset of [JSON schema](http://json-schema.org/example1.html), which we’ll probably use for CRD. The only [unsupported attribute](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wright-json-schema-validation-00) appears to be the display name, which is non-critical. [Base64 could be represented using media](http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-hypermedia.html#rfc.section.5.3.2). That could be useful as a common parameter schema to facilitate parameter discovery and documentation that is independent of the substitution syntax and mechanism ([example from Deployment Manager](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/deploymentmanager-samples/blob/master/templates/replicated_service.py.schema)).
 
 Without parameters how would we support a click-to-deploy experience? People who are kicking the tires, have undemanding use cases, are learning, etc. are unlikely to know what customization they want to perform initially, if they even need any. The main information users need to provide is the name prefix they want to apply. Otherwise, choosing among a few alternatives would suit their needs better than parameters. The overlay approach should support that pretty well. Beyond that, I suggest kicking users over to a Kubernetes-specific configuration wizard or schema-aware IDE, and/or support a fork workflow.
