Document how to access all OSA group_vars

Browse Source 
Some of the variables used the templates are in the OSA group_vars,
or are composed using other variables from group_vars. These are
not accessible using the embedded ansible. In addition, a deployer
may have referenced group_vars in user_variables. Adding the whole
OSA group vars tree via a symlink covers all of these cases.
