Karin Levenstein 3311c7127f Admin guide updates
More changes to match the Admin Guide with the Icehouse GUI.
Also cleaning up some wording and other editing stuff.
Relatively small changes to smallish files, for the most part.

...and some niceness fixes that I thought I'd gotten earlier.

Added Diane's fixes

<title>Manage volumes and volume types</title>
<para>Volumes are the Block Storage devices that you attach to
instances to enable persistent storage. Users can attach a
volume to a running instance or detach a volume and attach it
to another instance at any time. For information about using
the dashboard to create and manage volumes as an end user, see

Guide</citetitle></link>.</para>
<para>As an administrative user, you can manage volumes and volume types for users in various
projects. You can create and delete volume types, and you can view and delete
volumes.</para>
