Akihiro Motoki 515ba0ae0f Update the documentation link for doc migration
This commit updates links affected by doc migration.
Note that other links are not touched in this commit.
Fixing other broken links or changing http to https
should be covered by a separate patch.

Also convert http links to docs.openstack.org to https per reviewer
request (though it is not directly related to doc-migration).

Note that this commit does not touch files under releasenotes/notes/.
If we touch release notes in older releases, reno will considers
it as a release note in the current release.
(Pike release notes are clean up in a separate patch.)

Kilo Series Release Notes
=========================
Key New Features
================
* Support for Federated authentication via Web Single-Sign-On -- When
configured in keystone, the user will be able to choose the authentication
mechanism to use from those support by the deployment. This feature must be
enabled by changes to local_settings.py to be utilized. The related settings
to enable and configure can be found `here
<https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/configuration/settings.html#websso-enabled>`__.
* Support for Theming -- A simpler mechanism to specify a custom theme for
Horizon has been included. Allowing for use of CSS values for Bootstrap and
Horizon variables, as well as the inclusion of custom CSS. More details
available `here
<https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/configuration/settings.html#custom-theme-path>`__
* Sahara UX Improvements -- Dramatic improvements to the Sahara user experience
have been made with the addition of guided cluster creation and guided job
creation pages.
* Launch Instance Wizard (beta) -- A full replacement for the launch instance
workflow has been implemented in AngularJS to address usability issues in the
existing launch instance workflow. Due to the late inclusion date and limited
testing, this feature is marked as beta for Kilo and not enabled by default.
To use the new workflow, the following change to local_settings.py is
required: ``LAUNCH_INSTANCE_NG_ENABLED = True``. Additionally, you can disable
the default launch instance wizard with the following:
``LAUNCH_INSTANCE_LEGACY_ENABLED = False``. This new work is a view into
future development in Horizon.
