Jane Zadorozhna 61c744c2c5 Cloud Admin Guide: Shared File Systems updated information

After the technical review the Shared File Systems service
documentation in the Cloud Admin Guide needs to be updated.

Read and fixed some typos and incorrect English constructions in
the sentences of all sections. Fixed indentations in code, tip
and note directives. Also updated the following info:
* Removed references to the Generic driver, because it is default
  only on Devstack. And even for Devstack the default driver is going
  to be changed.
* Divided 'Create share' subsection on 3 subsections: added general
  concepts and info of creating a share in 2 back end modes.
* Added info that with StandaloneNetworkPlugin the Shared File Systems
  service can be configured without Networking and Compute services.
* Added export paths for GlusterFS and HDFS.
* Added notes what driver in what mode you use in examples and a noted
  what modes exist and can be configured.
* Added a console sample for "manila rate-limits" command and described
  how to add API rate limits.
* Removed information and samples about a quota classes because they are
  not used in the Shared File Systems service and are not working
  properly for the current moment (in Liberty release).
* Added second purpose of the share types.
* Removed '/etc/manila/' in manila.conf file, because its path can be
  customly changed.
* Said that consistency groups is the experimental part of API starting
  with Liberty release.
* Updated a sample in shared_file_systems_multi_backend.html file.
* Removed 'Storage' from the Shared File Systems service official name
  according to [1] document.

Networking

Unlike the OpenStack Block Storage service, the Shared File Systems service requires interaction with the Networking service. First of all, it is because the share services require the option to self-manage share servers. Also, for authentication and authorization of the clients, the Shared File Systems service can be optionally configured to work with different network authentication services, like LDAP, Kerberos protocols, or Microsoft Active Directory.
