Mikhail Dubov 30b1ad593f Restructure Rally docs
Modify Rally docs (for readthedocs), sticking to the following principles:
* Make the docs structure as simple as possible:
    1. Overview
    2. Install Rally
    3. Rally step-by-step
    4. User stories
    5. Plugins
    6. Contribute to Rally
    7. Rally OS Gates
    8. Request a New Feature
    9. Project Info
* Keep in mind what questions different target groups usually have about Rally.
  The new structure relates to these groups as follows:
    1 -> Managers
    2, 3, 4 -> QA
    5, 6, 7, 8, 9 -> QA & Developers
* Make each docs page to be easy to get through;
* Prefer pictures over text;
* Use hyperlinks to easily navigate from page to page;
* Fix incorrect English & typos.

Also add a sample for SLA plugins.

What is Rally?

OpenStack is, undoubtedly, a really huge ecosystem of cooperative services. Rally is a benchmarking tool that answers the question: "How does OpenStack work at scale?". To make this possible, Rally automates and unifies multi-node OpenStack deployment, cloud verification, benchmarking & profiling. Rally does it in a generic way, making it possible to check whether OpenStack is going to work well on, say, a 1k-servers installation under high load. Thus it can be used as a basic tool for an OpenStack CI/CD system that would continuously improve its SLA, performance and stability.
