Translate help to vim-like help file

Currently, when doing :h Gissues for example, the Readme file seems to come up.

This is a "feature request" for having a real vim help file. Would be much better for searching and so on! Please do this!

There is a docs/gissues file, but it's a bit old and I don't know much about how Vim docs are formatted. If you have any resources, I'd love to see them!

:h help-writing

I'd pick this up over the weekend. It would help if there was a release to base the latest documentation off of, so I'll pick 39dc67c3182a7e74b2407349f6454d2b55045997 as said base and work up, tracking master.

It took a while for me to get even a small amount of progress, I'll push up later tomorrow.

@jaxbot, will you consider something like a weekly stable release or something of that sort? It'd make it easier to target documentation versions.

My unpredictable school schedule makes committing weekly releases difficult, and the amount of work to do varies day to day. Not sure what the best way to tackle this is

Hm, is it possible for another maintainer to pick up the releasing necessary? Just queuing a bi-monthly "stable" release whilst having micro "patches" like you do would be dope.

But there's not a whole lot of new development to do, imo, just needs a lot of hardening and occasionally some new features if they come up. Doesn't make sense to me to have a release cycle for something that doesn't have a predictable roadmap.

I have the docs auto-generated now from the markdown README, let me know if that helps this issue
