docs: updates and move traffic gens to separate doc
Move the traffic gen instructions to a separate user guide and add information on usage of the Dummy traffic generator. Update docs to fix PDF build failure and do general clean-up. Removed the numbering from the LTD and added the numbered directive to automate numbering for sections and headers. Add comment anchors that reflect the section numbers.
