Stephen Finucane ef4d759e87 docs: Add new architecture guide
As with the cells v2 docs before this, we have a number of architecture
focused documents in tree. The 'user/architecture' guide is relatively
up-to-date but is quite shallow, while the 'admin/arch' guide is
in-depth but almost a decade out-of-date, with references to things
like nova's in-built block storage service. Replace most of the latter
with more up-to-date information and the merge the former into it,
before renaming the file to 'admin/architecture'.

User Documentation
==================
The OpenStack Compute service allows you to control an
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. It gives you
control over instances and networks, and allows you to manage access to the
cloud through users and projects.
Compute does not include virtualization software. Instead, it defines drivers
that interact with underlying virtualization mechanisms that run on your host
operating system, and exposes functionality over a web-based API.
