Kota Tsuyuzaki dfa5523d8c Add Pros/Cons docs for global cluster consideration
This comes from discussion in Bristol Hackathon (Feb 2016).
Currently Swift has a couple of choices (Global Cluster and Container
Sync) to sync the stored data into geographically distributed locations.

This patch adds the summary of the discussion comparing between
Global Cluster and Container Sync to enable operators to know which
functionality fits their own use case.

And, to be fairness with container-sync, this patch moves global
cluster docs into overview_global_cluster.rst from admin_guide.rst.

Welcome to Swift's documentation!
=================================
Swift is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob
store. Organizations can use Swift to store lots of data efficiently, safely, and cheaply.
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source
tree. Additional documentation on Swift and other components of OpenStack can
be found on the `OpenStack wiki`_ and at http://docs.openstack.org.
