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. fixes #4015
