Close #563: Add "ultra-bare-bones" quickstart.html

In addition to being helpful to someone who just downloaded MathQuill
for the first time, it makes it easy to sanity test release tarballs as
packaged by `npm pack`.

Considered putting it under test/, but it makes more sense in the root
of a release package, and it's equally as helpful to someone who just
`git clone`d MathQuill for the first time, so I think it's fine in the
root of the repo.

MathQuill

by Han, Jeanine, and Mary (maintainers@mathquill.com)

MathQuill is a web formula editor designed to make typing math easy and beautiful.

The MathQuill project is supported by its partners. We hold ourselves to a compassionate Code of Conduct.

MathQuill is resuming active development and we‘re committed to getting things running smoothly. Find a dusty corner? Let us know in Slack. (Prefer IRC? We’re #mathquill on Freenode.)

Getting Started

MathQuill has a simple interface. This brief example creates a MathQuill element and renders, then reads a given input:

var htmlElement = document.getElementById('some_id');
var config = {
  handlers: { edit: function(){ ... } },
  restrictMismatchedBrackets: true
};
var mathField = MQ.MathField(htmlElement, config);

mathField.latex('2^{\\frac{3}{2}}'); // Renders the given LaTeX in the MathQuill field
mathField.latex(); // => '2^{\\frac{3}{2}}'

Check out our Getting Started Guide for setup instructions and basic MathQuill usage.
