Align the docs intro text with the old wiki page
This landing page is now aimed at users, operators and developers (instead of just developers). This change rewrites the intro section to also cover points made in the old wiki landing page [1] which needs to be deprecated with a link to this page instead.

Heat
Heat is a service to orchestrate multiple composite cloud applications using templates, through both an OpenStack-native REST API and a CloudFormation-compatible Query API.
Why heat? It makes the clouds rise and keeps them there.
