Felipe Monteiro fb6220f1b5 [docs] Add documentation on document encryption
This patchset adds documentation on document encryption. It also
adds appropriate references to other sections of the documentation
where linking to document encryption is apropos. Finally, this
patchset adds further information and structure around the document
rendering process in general, in order to underscore the pieces
of documentation that undergird the general concept of document
rendering: substitution, layering and replacement.

Document Rendering

Document rendering involves extracting all raw revision documents from Deckhand's database, retrieving encrypted information from Barbican, and applying substitution, layering and replacement algorithms on the data.

The following algorithms are involved during the rendering process:

substitution

Substitution provides an "open" data sharing model in which any source document can be used to substitute data into any destination document.

layering

Layering provides a "restricted" data inheritance model intended to help reduce duplication in configuration.

replacement

Replacement builds on top of layering to provide yet another mechanism for reducing data duplication.
