Mention the mkdocs.yml file for adding new documents

and move the complicated discussion about branches lower down,
hopefully most won't need to know

`docs` branch maps to the "latest" documentation and the `master` (unreleased
development) branch maps to the "master" documentation.
## Branches
**There are two branches related to editing docs**: `master` and a `docs`
branch. You should always edit documentation on a local branch of the `master`
branch, and send a PR against `master`.
That way your fixes will automatically get included in later releases, and docs
maintainers can easily cherry-pick your changes into the `docs` release branch.
In the rare case where your change is not forward-compatible, you may need to
base your changes on the `docs` branch.
Also, now that we have a `docs` branch, we can keep the
[http://docs.docker.com](http://docs.docker.com) docs up to date with any bugs
found between Docker code releases.
**Warning**: When *reading* the docs, the
[http://docs-stage.docker.com](http://docs-stage.docker.com) documentation may
include features not yet part of any official Docker release. The `beta-docs`
site should be used only for understanding bleeding-edge development and
`docs.docker.com` (which points to the `docs` branch`) should be used for the
latest official release.
