Matt Kassawara 17fc8c8a8b Release candidate updates for Networking chapter
As part of the installation guide improvement project, I performed
the following operations on the Networking chapter:

1) Moved Neutron ML2 sections before OVS sections and updated
   associated notes to steer users toward ML2.
2) Removed database population steps because Neutron populates the
   database at first run.
3) Moved 'enable_security_group' key to [securitygroup] section.
4) Removed extraneous colons from procedure titles.
5) Added command output to Neutron initial networks section.
6) Added command output to Nova initial networks section.

<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

Administrator Guide</citetitle> for more information.</para>
