The only guide that *was* version specific and is still around is the
Install Guide. But we moved all OpenStack content out and left only the
generic content in. I think we can just keep this unversioned and add
version specific instructions where needed like "If you use Queens, ...".

So, let's change the Install Guide to be unversioned and get rid of
branching!

thanks a lot for driving all of this, Doug! I really like the way where
this goes,
