Jay S. Bryant ceed50fb34 [Docs] Pull over Cinder service overview for install 
Discovered that when we migrated we forgot to bring over
the page that provides an overview of what the different
services are and how they work together.

This patch pulls that page over as well and links it to
the install guide.

Cinder Installation Tutorial

The Block Storage service (cinder) provides block storage devices to guest instances. The method in which the storage is provisioned and consumed is determined by the Block Storage driver, or drivers in the case of a multi-backend configuration. There are a variety of drivers that are available: NAS/SAN, NFS, iSCSI, Ceph, and more.

The Block Storage API and scheduler services typically run on the controller nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the volume service can run on controller nodes, compute nodes, or standalone storage nodes.

For more information, see the Configuration Reference.
