The metadata service docs were hard to find since they were nested down in some nova-network admin guide docs, and they were a mix of end user and admin deployment guide information. This change splits out the end-user facing content into a user guide and leaves the deployment-specific information in the admin guide, and links are updated appropriately. The admin guide portion also referenced some config options that no longer exist, so those are also removed and vendordata_providers is added with a link to the vendordata guide. The options themselves are cleaned up for their current groups and linked to the config option docs. Change-Id: I66035366f3a7ca62ea12d6afa74d13db01ec9f8d
