Dmitry Tantsur f02ef8ad7a Rework drivers page in the admin documentation
First, "Enabling Drivers" is a really confusing title, since this page
links to complete driver documentation. It also links to IPA docs and
the PXE driver interface.

Next, our documentation is full of remarks about e.g. "pxe_* family of
drivers", which are misleading in the presence of hardware types and
the pxe_agent_cimc driver. We also have mentions of "iscsi deploy method"
without detailed explanation of how this method relates to hardware types
and classic drivers.

This change consolidates drivers and interfaces documentation under
the more clearly named root page. A new page is created with sections for
both deploy interfaces to use for linking from wherever a link to
a particular deploy interface is required.

Unsupported drivers

The following drivers were declared as unsupported in ironic Newton release and as of Ocata release they are removed from ironic:

The SSH drivers were removed in the Pike release. Similar functionality can be achieved either with VirtualBMC or using libvirt drivers from ironic-staging-drivers.
