    api-ref: add a note in DELETE /os-services about deleting computes

    As seen in I2717274bb1bd370870acbf58c03dc59cee30cc5e, if an
    operator deletes a nova-compute service via the API but fails
    to stop the actual nova-compute process, the API will delete the
    services table and compute_nodes table records, but the nova-compute
    process will hit the 'update_available_resource' periodic task and
    re-create the compute node record, which at that point is orphaned
    since it does not have an associated nova-compute service.

    Restarting the nova-compute service _should_ recreate the service
    table record for that host and then the user could attempt to
    delete the service and compute node record again via this API, but
    it's better to not have to find this out the hard way.

    So this change adds a simple reminder that the nova-compute process
    on the host should be stopped before deleting the compute service.

    While in here, the link to the install guide about the various
    compute services is also fixed.
