Wido den Hollander b6a610e2db docs: Work on Management Server and Hypervisor Host installation
The Hypervisor installation describes what cloud-setup-agent is actually doing, but this way administrators know what the tool is doing.

We could remove all these things from cloud-setup-agent and require system administrators to perform these steps them selfs, this way
we don't break anything on their systems.

It would make setting up Hypervisors a bit harder, but would be much better on the longer run.
