Shaun McCance f368a64810 Restructured Install Guide
Full outline finished. Keystone, Glance, and most of Nova complete

Changes to Common:
* Separate "Getting Started" content into separate files, so they can be
included individually where needed in the install guide
* separated "Keystone Concepts" so that a smaller subset of that can be
used in the install guide

<para>The dashboard is usually deployed through <link

>mod_wsgi</link> in Apache. You can modify the dashboard
code to make it suitable for different sites.</para>
<para>From a network architecture point of view, this service
must be accessible to customers and the public API for each
OpenStack service. To use the administrator functionality for
other services, it must also connect to Admin API endpoints,
which should not be accessible by customers.</para>
