Ron Stone 2b62f49a9d Fix symlinks
Changed paths to avoid '..', which breaks symlinks in newer versions of sphinx.
Consolidated installation include files under /_includes. Prefixed r5 versions with 'r5_'
Moved files that are used up/down, but at different paths under /shared/_includes
and /shared/figures
Move two include files to /_includes
Moved addtional images to /shared/figures/... Required for DS platform builds.

VM Network Interface Options
============================
|prod-os| supports a variety of standard and performance-optimized network
interface drivers in addition to the standard OpenStack choices.
.. _vm-network-interface-options-ul-mgc-xnp-nn:
- Unmodified guests can use Linux networking and virtio drivers. This
provides a mechanism to bring existing applications into the production
environment immediately.

.. note::
The virtio devices on a |VM| cannot use vhost-user for enhanced
performance if any of the following is true:
- The |VM| is not backed by huge pages.
- The |VM| is backed by 4k huge pages.
- The |VM| is live-migrated from an older platform that does not
support vhost-user.
