Add a basic "suggest an edit" workflow to the handbooks plugin

We've talked about this quite a bit in the context of DevHub where User Contributed Notes are occasionally used as a feedback mechanism. Basically, we need a way for docs consumers to report problems or suggest edits of published documentation on .org.

The initial proposal would be to build or use something akin to ​Post Forking on the front-end of handbooks and eventually other places like DevHub or HelpHub.

Personally I don't think an MVP has to be a complete solution, it mostly needs to cover the rift drawn between moving away from the Codex where any user could edit anything to the now largely closed systems on .org.

I think starting with the handbooks would be the way to go.

@DrewAPicture Have you had a chance to work on this?

I love the idea! Does anyone has a idea how to realize it? Or do you need first a UI?

1866.diff​ is a rough draft that asks the user if the page was useful, and if they answer no, asks them how it could be improved, and emails that feedback to the site admin.

Future iterations could potentially include:

• tracking the up/down votes for stats, and knowing which pages need work, even if no specific feedback has been given
• saving the feedback in a CPT instead of sending an email, so it can mark as resolved, which may be easier if multiple people are reviewing the feedback

Before we move forward on this, let me work on some alternate designs.
