John Ericson bc192a95ef Describe active experimental features in the contributing guide
They are put in the manual separate pages under the new overarching
description of experimental features.

The settings page just lists the valid experimental feature names (so
people know what a valid setting entry looks like), with links to those
pages. It doesn't attempt to describe each experimental feature as that
is too much information for the configuration settings section.
