remove inappropriate paragraph in GettingStarted.md

doc/HACKING/GettingStarted.md says "you might like reading doc/HACKING", which is reader obviously is already doing :)

Let' remove the paragraph containing this line as it adds no information at all.

Yeah that does seem redundant. However, I think the more detailed information dump that the existing text intends to refer to is actually the torguts repository. (which arguably should be under doc/ in the tor repository rather than its own repository)

The torguts repo is a great read. I think it really should move inside tor's doc directory. It would probably be a little better maintained that way too.

Tor doesn't yet use git modules for external repositories, so I guess that would add totally unnecessary complexity.

If simply adding doc/torguts/ with the current torguts files, we'd have to make sure, the current torguts repo is deleted.

A related ticket is #22911 (moved), but I'm not sure we have a ticket for moving the rest of torguts into the main tor repository.

ok. strictly speaking moving torguts to tor/doc is a seperate issue. In case that'd be done, of course some texts will link to it.

Or was this "you might like reading doc/HACKING" really meant to say "you might like reading https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/nickm/torguts.git/ ?

Yes, at least until we decide to move the torguts content into the tor repository. doc/HACKING/README.1st.md also mentions torguts.git under a "XXXXX also describe" heading, but I'm not sure that needs to change as part of this ticket.

the torguts repo is directly linked a few lines below though, in the very same file, GettingStarted.md; number 2 of "Getting your first patch into Tor". Wouldn't it be unnecessary to have it on top too?

I think it's fine to mention it both up top and later on in "Getting your first patch into Tor", but only provide the full repository URL in one place.
