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
applications provided as part of |prod|.
StarlingX 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 StarlingX 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.
StarlingX 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.
