* Network modules to link to network guide
* Make it clear what's deprecated
* enable -> become
* Detail when provider is still needed (eAPI/NX-API)
* Link to specific sections
* rx_rate & tx_rate to link to conditional docs
* eos - Support use_proxy argument
Running ansible with a proxy set in the environment causes the eos module to
attempt to connect to devices via the proxy.
To prevent this behaviour the only way is to unset the proxy out of the
environment, either by wrapping the ansible calls or doing it in a piece of code
executed before connect, such as a vars_module (though this is very hacky).
This change allows you to set `use_proxy: no` under the provider config.
The default value is set to True, which mirrors the behaviour seen today.

A few of the docs fragments have the available choices for some params
defined as "BOOLEANS". Because choices accepts a list, it treats
"BOOLEANS" as an iterable and then generates a list composed of each
letter.
Instead, define the available choices as a list of `['yes', 'no']`,
as is common in most other modules.
The provider argument accepts the set of device common arguments as a
dict object. Individual connection arguments can still be included and
take priority over the provider argument. This update includes additions
to the nxos doc fragment
This commit refactors the nxapi into a new shared module nxos that supports
connectivity over both ssh (cli) and nxapi. It supercedes the nxapi shared
module and removes it from module_utils. This commit also adds a
documentation fragement supporting the nxos shared module
