[Openstack-docs] Page size for Architecture Design Guide

Hi all,
I'm still working on a print-ready PDF for the Architecture Design Guide,
and realized that our page size for the cover we have and the previous
books is Crown Quarto, 7.44 × 9.68 inches. However, now that I have the
layout indicated in the pom.xml with these parameters:

<pageWidth>7.44in</pageWidth>
                            <pageHeight>9.68in</pageHeight>
                            <doubleSided>1</doubleSided>
                            <omitCover>1</omitCover>

I'm finding that the contentwidth="6in" won't work for these diagrams on
this page layout because they fall off the page. Since they're rather
large, I'm making sure that the tradeoffs are okay.

My current thinking is:
- we want a matching set on a bookshelf or desk
- I don't want to spend more on cover redesign
- it's okay to set contentwidth="4in" throughout rather than 6in and the
diagrams will still be readable

(Side note, for the Ops Guide, each PNG is sized to fit the page exactly
and there are no contentwidth settings in that entire book.)

Any other thoughts or anything I'm missing? I'll make a patch with the
changes needed for print-ready PDF.

Also, I'm out tomorrow and Friday this week but I will be monitoring email.
Thanks,
Anne
