Config guide workflow simplification
Workflow simplification for config guide. Several good improvement
ideas taken into account. Work is not totally complete yet and may
need separate handling.
Added link to chapter "Apex installer tips" which was accidentally
dropped off.
Moved commands specific to apex to appropriate section.
Took away the Rally as an example of the test case execution behind
a proxy. Rally does not nesessarily need internet connectivity.
I finally removed the dreaded "Whiteschpace" at EOL in several
places.
Adding minor tweaks and finetuning.
Corrected the phrasing of docker installation.
