Bug Description
Hi,
Using maas snap 3.1.0-10901-
After installing MAAS, I logged in to the web UI to configure networking.
MAAS created most of the things (a subnet, a VLAN, a fabric) and so you just need to rename them.
The first "space" however isn't automatically created, and so you have to click on the "Add" button in the "Network" page. I just spent like 10 minutes figuring this out. The documentation doesn't mention how to create spaces either.
Suggestions :
1. create a default space
2. in the warnings about a subnet/VLAN not being in a space, mention that the first space needs to be added instead of renamed like the rest (perhaps with a link to the space creation page ?)
3. update the doc to mention how to create a space
Thanks !

We need to improve the documentation around spaces, specifically create a "how-to create a space". We also need to consider improving the UI around creating spaces, although it is not immediately obvious how to do that.
