It's not very clear exactly what the "params" method is and does, as the current description in the guide is somewhat vague and brief. An example is helpful, especially considering this method is referenced over 30 times in this guide. [ci skip]
It may be confusing to a Rails newbie why "Article" is suddenly being referred to with the "A" being capitalized. Thus far in the guide, the "a" has always been in lowercase. I think it is helpful to point out the reason for this change (especially since not using the capital "A" will result in an error). [ci skip]
Update the Getting Started tutorial to clarify where and how to add
controller actions, and fix some grammar.
This PR is an improved version of #14828, #14822 and #14815.

We noticed the rails gem increased in size between the beta and rc
versions, and the reason is that some guides images were updated but not
properly optimized, and one image changed from png to jpg, way bigger.
Converting the jpg image back to png, and using ImageOptim to optimize
all the images for web view, improves the situation [ci skip].

- Used Article model instead of Post as it may confuse with 'post'
requests
- Tried to wrap the guide to 80 chars lines as much as possible.
- Removed unused image
- Fixes#13764
- Earlier(line number 862) it is said to add <%= link_to 'New post', new_post_path %> on posts index page before table tag. But when posts index page html is shown, "New Post" link is missing.
So aaded "New Post" link in this commit
