docs/install-instr: Refactor target specific cfg.

Fuel 8.0 adds support for setting up "Offloading Modes" for
target nodes.

Document how this features should be used (and why/when it's
necessary).

While at it, fix minor reference to branch in git tag checkout
instructions, as we'd be in detached HEAD and not on a new branch.

+#. Set up targets for provisioning with non-default "Offloading Modes"
+
+   Some target nodes may require additional configuration after they are
+   PXE booted (bootstrapped); the most frequent changes are in defaults
+   for ethernet devices' "Offloading Modes" settings (e.g. some targets'
+   ethernet drivers may strip VLAN traffic by default).
+
+   If your target ethernet drivers have wrong "Offloading Modes" defaults,
+   in "Configure interfaces" page (described above), expand affected
+   interface's "Offloading Modes" and [un]check the relevant settings
+   (see figure below):
+
+   .. figure:: img/offloadingmodes.png
+
+#. Set up targets for "Verify Networks" with non-default "Offloading Modes"
+
+   **NOTE**: Check *Reference 15* for an updated and comprehensive list of
+   known issues and/or limitations, including "Offloading Modes" not being
+   applied during "Verify Networks" step.
+
+   Setting custom "Offloading Modes" in Fuel GUI will only apply those settings
+   during provisiong and **not** during "Verify Networks", so if your targets
+   need this change, you have to apply "Offloading Modes" settings by hand
+   to bootstrapped nodes.
+
+   **E.g.**: Our driver has "rx-vlan-filter" default "on" (expected "off") on
+   the Openstack interface(s) "eth1", preventing VLAN traffic from passing
+   during "Verify Networks".
