Improved dashboard content in the installation guide as follows: 1) Restructured steps for consistency with similar sections. 2) Updated list of packages to install. 3) Adjusted configuration on all distributions to use memcached for session storage to simplify installation. 4) Clarified instructions for access permissions. 5) Split verification step into separate section for consistency with other chapters. 6) Changed removal of Ubuntu theme package from 'required' to 'optional' based on user experience. 7) Added workaround for RDO packaging issues. This patch includes changes for Juno. Change-Id: Iecb1cff57853b097ba2ee0a5016438190ff8d920 Implements: blueprint installation-guide-improvements Co-Authored-By: Matt Kassawara <mkassawara@gmail.com>
