Victor Hu bb279bd76f Refactor the entire "Advanced" section of the documentation
- categorize into topics without "xCAT" in the heading
  since the topics are all related to xCAT
- Alphabetize the topics to make it easier to find
- create sub directories for the topics to contain
  the documentation
- broke down some of the docs to multiple files to help
  ease of readability

Introduction
============
In supporting large clusters, it is desirable to have more than a single management node handling the installation and management of compute nodes.
In xCAT, these additional nodes are referred to as *Service Nodes (SN)*. The management node can delegate all management operations for a compute node to the Service node that is managing them. You can have one of more service nodes configured to install and manage a group of compute nodes.
