Purpose

The "learning examples" page at
https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/LearningExamples points to the Lightbend Tech Hub -- as this is a repackaging of play-samples and is Lightbend specific, it's probably a good idea to move to directly using the samples.

TODO:

Background Context

This changes documentation only, not source code.

# Learning from Play Examples

[Lightbend Tech Hub](https://developer.lightbend.com/start/?group=play) offers downloadable Play examples for Java and Scala. Play has many features, so rather than pack them all into one project, we've organized many examples that each showcase a Play feature or demonstrate a common use case. The zip files include everything you need to build and run the examples, including a distribution of the sbt and Gradle. Refer to the `README.md` file in the top-level project directory to learn more about the example.
The [play samples](https://github.com/playframework/play-samples/tree/2.8.x) offers downloadable Play examples for Java and Scala. Play has many features, so rather than pack them all into one project, we've organized many examples that each showcase a Play feature or demonstrate a common use case.

Thanks, I already changed that recently in main and 2.9.x branch:

I didn't update the 2.8.x branch because in 2.8 Lightbend was still involved so I didn't see the need to change that branch.

There's also an issue in that there are two "getting started" projects: 

https://github.com/playframework/play-samples/tree/2.8.x/play-scala-hello-world-tutorial

and 

https://github.com/playframework/play-samples/tree/2.8.x/play-scala-starter-example

The hello world example is referenced in the documentation:

https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.8.x/HelloWorldTutorial

We should consolidate these so there's only one "getting started" project.
