Matt Kassawara ab3b945c26 Restructured and updated basic environment config chapter
As part of the installation guide improvement project, I performed
the following operations on the basic environment configuration
chapter of the installation guide:

1) Split large ch_basics.xml file into smaller files to ease addition
   of new networking content and future updates.
2) Added information on how to install on VMs.
3) Added recommended minimum hardware requirements for each node.
4) Built detailed instructions for network configuration on
   three-node neutron and two-node nova example architectures
   including verification of connectivity using name resolution.
5) Clarified phrasing and wording.
6) Updated glossary as necessary.

This patch primarily updates networking content in this chapter.

<para>This chapter explains how to configure each node in the
<link linkend="architecture_example-architectures">example architectures</link>
including the <link linkend="example-architecture-with-legacy-networking">
two-node architecture with legacy networking</link> and

<note>
<para>Although most environments include OpenStack Identity, Image Service,
Compute, at least one networking service, and the dashboard, OpenStack
Object Storage can operate independently of most other services. If your
use case only involves Object Storage, you can skip to
<xref linkend="object-storage-system-requirements"/>. However, the
dashboard will not work without at least OpenStack Image Service and
Compute.</para>

<para>You must use an account with administrative privileges to configure
each node. Either run the commands as the <literal>root</literal> user
or configure the <literal>sudo</literal> utility.</para>
