Clarify that the permission system used by the api isn't equivalent
with the system used by the Icinga Web 2 frontend. And that its rather based
on the url scheme of the API endpoints.
The `process-check-result` action can now optionally set the
`ttl` parameter. This overrules the configured freshness
check (check_interval).
The main idea behind this is to allow the external sender
to specify when the next check result is coming in.
For example, a backup script which should be run every
24h can specify the exact expected next check result.
The addition to the CheckResult class is necessary to
forward the check result throughout the cluster and
calculate the `next_check` value on each node. This
allows us to send in a check result on a satellite,
and the master determines the freshness and possible
notifications/state changes for Icinga Web 2.
Main focus: Object attributes and their value types. Originates from the
API Event Streams patch to document their value types. Now applied to
the entire configuration objects chapter.
The API chapter and their value types has been changed to capitalized
type identifiers.
Value types are now explicitly told about inside monitoring basics. This
has been adopted into the Icinga 2 training material a long time ago
and finds its way into the docs too.
The CheckResult and PerfdataValue value types have been moved into the
advanced topics chapter. mkdocs doesn't like multiple `#` headings in one file
and did just hide it.
Also moved the Influxdb details into the features documentation where it
belongs.
Many small references and URLs to other chapters added.
E.g. dedicated chapters for object accessor examples, to better link against
time dependent thresholds.
Can serve as patch basis and reference for ITL documentation where the
value types are missing too.
This commit also fixes the non-requirement of "legacy-timeperiod" which
also is a default template import since 2.6.
This also fixes the state mapping issue.

You can now specify a boolean `reload` attribute that
will allow you to skip the icinga2 reload after config
validation. By default this is set to true.
The response text has been updated to show if icinga2
will reload or if it was requested to be skipped.
fixes#4769
* Rename files to allow easy ordering
* Update links inside markdown according to new file names
* Move HTML links (<a>...</a>) to the end of the header lines
* This is necessary to allow mkdocs to parse headers correctly and display them in the TOC
* Following sed command was used: sed -i .bu 's/\(<a.*a>\) \(.*\)/\2 \1/g' $filename
Also apply a new structure.
Deleted the old cluster and client documentation and started "fresh".
This commit also includes various images used in the newly written
"Distributed Monitoring" chapter for better understanding.
