Michael Friedrich 34bd8e14c3 Enhance the documentation and fix outdated information (preferences, etc.) 
This applies a new structure for the main doc/ and modules/*/doc tree with

01-About.md
02-Installation.md
...

This allows us to link from the main doc directory into module specific
documentation entries.

Furthermore table formatting, examples, and missing settings have been added
where applicable.

This patch also takes care about proper URL anchors and file names and directories.

Backends

The configuration file backends.ini contains information about data sources which are used to fetch monitoring objects presented to the user.

The required resources must be globally defined beforehand.

Configuration

Navigate into Configuration -> Modules -> Monitoring -> Backends. You can select a specified global resource here, and also update its details.

Each section in backends.ini references a resource. By default you should only have one backend enabled.

IDO Backend
