Matt Thompson 06708191d6 Install Guide Cleanup
This commit does the following:

- sets all shell prompts in code-blocks to the root prompt
- uses shell-session code-block since the shell prompt was being
  treated as a comment
- links configure-aodh.rst in configure.rst (running tox was
  complaining that this file wasn't being linked anywhere)
- other minor cleanup

Linux Containers (LXC)
----------------------
Containers provide operating-system level virtualization by enhancing
the concept of **chroot** environments, which isolate resources and file
systems for a particular group of processes without the overhead and
complexity of virtual machines. They access the same kernel, devices,
and file systems on the underlying host and provide a thin operational
layer built around a set of rules.
The Linux Containers (LXC) project implements operating system level
virtualization on Linux using kernel namespaces and includes the
following features:
- Resource isolation including CPU, memory, block I/O, and network
using *cgroups*.
- Selective connectivity to physical and virtual network devices on the
underlying physical host.
- Support for a variety of backing stores including LVM.
- Built on a foundation of stable Linux technologies with an active
development and support community.
Useful commands:
- List containers and summary information such as operational state and
network configuration:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# lxc-ls --fancy
- Show container details including operational state, resource
utilization, and ``veth`` pairs:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# lxc-info --name container_name
- Start a container:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# lxc-start --name container_name
- Attach to a container:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# lxc-attach --name container_name
- Stop a container:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# lxc-stop --name container_name
