The index.rst page for Cinder was not well suited to the new openstackdocstheme that was created. This resulted in the page just looking like a disorganized set of links with no visually defined topics or explanation. With this patch I emulate the look of the Keystone page by properly indicating the different topics in the page and add some text to describe each of the sections. I also update some of the old 'Block Storage' pages to use a 'Cinder' heading for consistency. Change-Id: I341e8340b960946a86f4ff8fbee3624531b375af

Cinder Administration
The OpenStack Block Storage service works through the interaction of
a series of daemon processes named cinder-* that reside
persistently on the host machine or machines. You can run all the
binaries from a single node, or spread across multiple nodes. You can
also run them on the same node as other OpenStack services.
To administer the OpenStack Block Storage service, it is helpful to understand a number of concepts. You must make certain choices when you configure the Block Storage service in OpenStack. The bulk of the options come down to two choices - single node or multi-node install. You can read a longer discussion about Storage Decisions in the OpenStack Operations Guide.
OpenStack Block Storage enables you to add extra block-level storage to your OpenStack Compute instances. This service is similar to the Amazon EC2 Elastic Block Storage (EBS) offering.
