Matt Kassawara 03cff88d61 Updated networking content
I updated the networking content as follows:

1) Reordered example architectures to place the 3-node neutron
   architecture before the 2-node nova-network architecture which
   agrees with the order presented in other portions of the
   installation guide.
2) Changed network service naming to agree with conventions.
3) Permanently unlinked the Open vSwitch (OVS) plug-in sections from
   the Networking chapter. However, I will refrain from deleting
   the associated files in case we need to restore them.
4) Temporarily unlinked the Open vSwitch (OVS) portion of the Neutron
   concepts section until we can update it to reflect the Modular
   Layer 2 (ML2) plug-in.
5) Addressed other minor issues.

<title>Add a networking service</title>
<para>Configuring networking in OpenStack can be a bewildering
experience. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for both
OpenStack Networking (neutron) and the legacy networking (nova-network)
service. If you are unsure which to use, we recommend trying
OpenStack Networking because it offers a considerable number of
features and flexibility including <glossterm baseform="plug-in"
>plug-ins</glossterm> for a variety of emerging products
supporting <glossterm>virtual networking</glossterm>. See the
