Reframe collatz-conjecture exercise instructions as a story

I also edited the source and source_url to point directly to the Collatz conjecture page on Wikipedia. The old url was just a redirection.

Looks good! Thank you.

We're not totally consistent, but I feel like the introduction contains much of the instructions. Maybe make the rules explicit in the instructions too? And maybe remove some of it from the introduction?

The intention was to reframe the instructions as a story. Since there isn't a real story here, I'm unsure how to incorporate your suggestion. If there are inconsistencies, I'd prefer to fix them instead.

Edit: Is the inconsistency that the intro contains the instructions?

It is. I'm happy to approve this and maybe tweak this later

The idea of putting the instructions in the intro came directly from other exercises. For example https://github.com/exercism/problem-specifications/blob/main/exercises/eliuds-eggs/introduction.md does the same. Pretty much everything we need to know is in the intro and the instructions contain only a single sentence.

That's why I said we're inconsistent :)

So, are we still going ahead with this PR then?

[ErikSchierboom]

Sure
