Moving "Berber architecture" section edit

I've moved the "Berber architecture" subsection to a new separate section at the end of the page, as the housing discussed in it isn't about a specific period and it certainly isn't ancient. There's already a section right below it about architecture in the ancient Berber kingdoms, so it's just confusing to have it here as well. I'm also planning to add one or two details that probably fit best in a general "Berber architecture" section, so having the section in the right place helps. I've placed it at the end simply to avoid interrupting the more strictly chronological order of the other sections, but I could see an argument for integrating it into one of the other lower sections if preferred.

Lastly, I've removed the initial statement "Berbers, the historical occupants of much of Algeria, largely defined the foundation of Algerian architectural heritage.", as this is a vague claim and doesn't follow from any source. (The historical inhabitants of the territory were Berbers, so their importance should be self-evident; and beyond that, various internal and external influences were crucial, so this statement is too simplistic to be helpful.)
