With the addition of section_config_format, we can now remove section_nova-conf.xml. It was the only section in the guide that documented the INI format. Move some content from section_nova-conf.xml to section_config_format.xml and update both as appropriate. Also, update section_config_format.xml to use spaces around "=" and to not chunk the sections. Change-Id: I41f6e919bf996cb28a6f1ca4425752a653a3f81f
