cephfs: reduce duplication of RBD docs and reword

No point in having half of RBD section duplicated here.
Reference pveceph-chapter, note that upstream considers snapshots
still not completely stable and remind user that he needs to setup a
ceph user secret...

Storage pool type: `cephfs`
http://ceph.com[Ceph] is a distributed object store and file system designed to
provide excellent performance, reliability and scalability. CephFS implements a
POSIX-compliant filesystem storage, with the following advantages:
CephFS implements a POSIX-compliant filesystem using a http://ceph.com[Ceph]
storage cluster to store its data. As CephFS builds on Ceph it shares most of
its properties, this includes redundancy, scalability, self healing and high
availability.
* thin provisioning
* distributed and redundant (striped over multiple OSDs)
* snapshot capabilities
* self healing
* no single point of failure
* scalable to the exabyte level
* kernel and user space implementation available
NOTE: For smaller deployments, it is also possible to run Ceph
services directly on your {pve} nodes. Recent hardware has plenty
of CPU power and RAM, so running storage services and VMs on same node
is possible.
TIP: {pve} can xref:chapter_pveceph[manage ceph setups], which makes
configuring a CephFS storage easier. As recent hardware has plenty of CPU power
and RAM, running storage services and VMs on same node is possible without a
big performance impact.
