"Report" button for documentation

[mahrud]

It would be nice to have a report button on the online documentation so people can report issues without going through the trouble of emailing or making a github issue. It would also make it easy to go through a list of reported documentation issues quickly.

For instance, I just found a bug in width(Net), which says:

For a string, the width and the height are the same.

But this is so minor that even opening an issue seems like an overkill.

What would the button do?

Maybe open a form to let users submit a short description of the issue? Maybe backed by google forms or something easy.

How about just having a link to https://github.com/Macaulay2/M2/issues/new ?

Most people don't have a GitHub account.

It's not onerous to set one up, and the results are great.

Sure, that'll do. I'll do it in #1454.

Actually, change of plans, that pull request is done, so I'll leave this for a future PR.
