Temporary release critical doc Update Status

This is a temporary doc page while the doc is corrected for the v.10 Gold release

Please check status here and check for errors on the pages mentioned. Getting everything corrected won't happen --see [Sisyphus] -- but the aim is to have error-free Installation, Update and Management pages. This could go to Bugzilla if preferred, the idea was not to clog Bugzilla up with minor doc issues. Anything critical that could cause breakage should go to Bugzilla to be tracked.

- Anyone error-checking: please add notes directly under Chapters and Notes of errors sections.

- General Note: there's a lot of good content in Language-specific version of the manuals that could perhaps usefully be imported into the English manual

Notes of errors:

I (JR) have not made much use of the Developers Manual. However, it looks to me as if a significant rewrite of sections may be called for particularly due to changes in systemd services, service control, monitoring etc etc: https://wiki.koozali.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Developers_Manual:Section2#Process_startup.2C_supervision_and_shutdown
