Simplify versioning system for user guides
This new approach doesn't require version numbers and make easier for contributors to understand the status
of the document. There are only 3 states:

- Outdated: The page is outdated and might not work as expected
- Untranslated: The page needs to be translated
- Translation outdated: The page is translated, but the original (English) document has been updated

To mark a guide as outdated, we change the boolean of the front matter entry 'outdated' in /resources/user-guides/GUIDE.
If 'False', the guide is updated. If 'True' all versions of the guide (English included) will show a warning at the bottom
of the page.

The other 2 states are related to the status of the translated pages and we control them from the language-specific
user guides: /_i18n/LANG/resources/user-guides/GUIDE. At the top of the page a snippet will include 2 parameters:

- translated: "yes" if the page is translated, "no" if it's not.
- translationOutdated: "yes" if the translation is outdated, "no" if it's not

This new system aims to be simpler than the precedent, avoiding to compare versioning numbers and using a higher level
system instead (yes, no, True, False). I also removed the middle way status 'only minor changes', because if there are
only minor changes that don't affect the usability of the guide, we don't need to point it out.

The old system was complex and people didn't use it. These changes will hopefully make things easier for translators and
other contributors.

Restoring from keys

Restoring a wallet from private keys is pretty simple. If you have the necessary information, with this guide you can completely restore your wallet. Note: you do NOT have to have your password to restore from keys.

You need to have 3 pieces of data from your wallet, or your .keys file which holds this info and the password to decrypt it. The 3 wallet components that you need are:

  1. Address
  2. Secret Spendkey
  3. Secret Viewkey

CLI

Then run the wallet command:

./monero-wallet-cli --generate-from-keys New_Wallet_Name.abc

Next, you'll be asked for the Address, the spendkey, the viewkey, and finally the new password for the re-generated wallet.

Running this with the correct parameters will re-generate your wallet files for you and allow you to set a new password.

If you run into any trouble, running ./monero-wallet-cli --help will show you the options available to you at wallet startup. Once you're inside your wallet, running the help command will list the help for the commands available to you within the wallet.
