general-concepts: Remove Herds and rename the sub to 'Projects'
Herds are gone for over 3.5 years, so it's time to finally remove them
from documentation. Remove the relevant section of 'Herds and Projects'
article, and rename it to just 'Projects' accordingly.

-<p>
-A <e>herd</e> is a collection of packages with an associated set of
maintainers.
-It can happen for example because of retirement that a herd has no developers
-but this should be avoided if at all possible. A herd has an associated email
-address which can be used for bugzilla assignments. This email address is
-<b>not</b> always <c>[email protected]</c> <d/> for example, because of the
-way Gentoo's email aliases are set up, the <c>cron</c> herd use
-<c>[email protected]</c> (aliases cannot match system usernames).
-</p>
-
-<p>
-A <e>project</e> is a group formed for handling a particular general area. A
project
-may have herds associated with it.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Sometimes herd and project names overlap <d/> for example, the <c>sparc</c>
project
-has an associated <c>sparc</c> herd which maintains sparc-specific packages
(such
-as the <c>silo</c> bootloader). This is <e>not</e> always the case.
