Move some files from root directory into subfolders if possible

[jywarren]

We have many different files in the root directory, but they push down the README quite far when viewed on GitHub: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2

Some files seem like they could be kept in a subfolder to save vertical space -- some have already been moved to .github/ -- but it'll take research to tell which we can move without breaking anything. Let's do some careful research and paste in links in the comments for any docs showing where we could stash these files.

Thanks!

Hi @jywarren, there are two readme files. Should i make a directory and put both the files in it?
And since directories come first, this will solve this issue.
