Restructured the installation-instruction file into indexed sub files
Take-two of this patch, originally merged: f479b77c4f7c0d11196e3902bb7e60ff8e34a1fe reverted: bffb8e0e27f21934a4bbb1138427f2adda6c583d Created a section based structure for the installation-instruction. It should show on the html artifact as a structured web page. We may want to move some sections to other directories to incorporate them into the release configguide. Left that for step 2... Now includes updates to the rpm spec so as not to break the build.

+Triple-O Deployment Architecture
+================================
+
+Apex is based on RDO Manager which is the RDO Project's implementation of
+the OpenStack Triple-O project. It is important to understand the basics
+of a Triple-O deployment to help make decisions that will assist in
+successfully deploying OPNFV.
+
+Triple-O stands for OpenStack On OpenStack. This means that OpenStack
+will be used to install OpenStack. The target OPNFV deployment is an
+OpenStack cloud with NFV features built-in that will be deployed by a
+smaller all-in-one deployment of OpenStack. In this deployment
+methodology there are two OpenStack installations. They are referred
+to as the undercloud and the overcloud. The undercloud is used to
+deploy the overcloud.
+
+The undercloud is the all-in-one installation of OpenStack that includes
+baremetal provisioning. RDO Manager's deployment of the undercloud is
+call Instack. Instack will be deployed as a virtual machine on a jumphost.
+This VM is pre-built and distributed as part of the Apex RPM.
+
+The overcloud is OPNFV. Configuration will be passed into Instack and
+Instack will use OpenStack's orchestration component call Heat to
+execute a deployment will provision the target nodes to become OPNFV.
