Documentation updates for open sourcing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Much of the documentation is obsolete due to open sourcing GEE.
This PR updates much of the obsolete documentation, including
things like installation instructions, removing references to
Google support, fixing broken links, etc.  It also includes some
minor documentation clean up.

<p>When you install GEE on a server, it queries for the name of the local host by issuing a <code>hostname -f</code> command. Each time you build a resource, project, or database on the server, the host name is added to all the files in each asset’s subdirectory. If you change the hostname or if you move assets to another server, you must also update the <code>assetroot host</code> entry to match the new host name.</p>
<p>To change the asset root host entry, use the <code>geconfigureassetroot</code> command:</p>
<code>sudo /opt/google/bin/geconfigureassetroot --fixmasterhost</code>
