Adapt documentation to latest guidelines
Adapt Yardstick documentation according to the latest guidelines from the Releng project. The only change in test case description TC001 and TC002 is to remove logo. The same for the test case description v2 template. The previous version of test case description is deleted from repo. The Yardstick_task_template is edited to keep line lenght 80 char. This commit also adds index for docs/yardstick and for docs/user_guides/framework. The overview for the vTC .rst file has been fixed to enable the .pdf generation.

Basic template syntax
