Add OTP to updating.md

Browse source 
* I removed the Update section from the OTP install and added it to updating.md
* I also added a link to the updating.md from the OTP install page
* I added a Questions section to the OTP install, similar to the debian_based_en.md
* Restructured the updating.md a bit

I would very much also like to link to the changelog, but I don't know how to do it because I can't find the page in the docs?

# Updating your instance
You should **always check the release notes/changelog** in case there are config deprecations, special update special update steps, etc.
Besides that, doing the following is generally enough:
## For OTP installations
```sh
# Download the new release
su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update"
# Migrate the database, you are advised to stop the instance before doing that
su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"
```
## For from source installations (using git)
1. Go to the working directory of Pleroma (default is `/opt/pleroma`)
2. Run `git pull`. This pulls the latest changes from upstream.
3. Run `mix deps.get`. This pulls in any new dependencies.

This will create an account withe the username of 'joeuser' with the email address of joeuser@sld.tld, and set that user's account as an admin. This will result in a link that you can paste into the browser, which logs you in and enables you to set the password.
