The index page for our install tutorial should point back to the top level OpenStack installation tutorial to give the user information on how to set up the base OpenStack environment before starting installation. This patch adds the link and notes that the setup in there is a prerequisite to executing the Cinder Install Tutorial. Change-Id: I42418b30b3978bac24a856c22342ce5db3e42282

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.
