Ron Stone f125a8b892 Remove spurious escapes (r8,dsR8)
This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

=====================================
StarlingX Application Package Manager
=====================================
Use the |prod| system application commands to manage containerized application
deployment from the command-line.
|prod| application management provides a wrapper around FluxCD and Kubernetes
Helm (see `https://github.com/helm/helm <https://github.com/helm/helm>`__)
for managing containerized applications. FluxCD is a tool for managing multiple
Helm charts with dependencies by centralizing all configurations in a single
FluxCD YAML definition and providing life-cycle hooks for all Helm releases.
A |prod| application package is a compressed tarball containing a metadata.yaml
file, a manifest.yaml FluxCD manifest file, and a charts directory containing
Helm charts and a checksum.md5 file. The metadata.yaml file contains the
application name, version, and optional Helm repository and disabled charts
information.
|prod| application package management provides a set of :command:`system`
CLI commands for managing the lifecycle of an application, which includes
managing overrides to the Helm charts within the application.
