Matt Riedemann c15a639dea cells: document upgrade limitations/assumptions
We log a warning when using cells that it's experimental, and we have
several locations in the docs that say it's experimental, but we have
never documented that rolling upgrades are not supported and that cells
deployments must be upgraded in lockstep.  This adds that information to
the warning that's logged on startup and to the devref doc on upgrades
so people know that cells is still a special kitten that must be treated
differently.

Joe Gordon a1e8fc6dd9 Update docs layout
* Explain these docs are for trunk (copied from ironic)
* All the docs in this repo are meant to be developer docs, so having a
  devref inside of the docs is redundant and just makes the docs more
  complicated to navigate. Move everything out of the devref folder and
  link to everything from main index.
* Move man pages into separate section. The man pages are pretty sparse
* right now, we should either make them useful or just delete them
* Remove dead docs from unused_docs list in doc/source/conf.py
* Shuffle docs landing page, move common referees to the top (API,
  hypervisor support matrix), Add a introduction section and more. The
  hope is the updated layout makes this document easier to navigate.
* Use maxdepth of 1
* Rename a few sections with what are hopefully better names

The next step is to prune out outdated documents and further cleanup
this page.
