not direct the reader to sign up.

Explain the initialism "OSD" and link to its definition in the glossary.
This PR is raised in response to an anonymous documentation bug that reads
"Paragraph 2 uses the acronym OSD without any explanation.
This makes it very difficult to understand this part of
the documentation as there is no indication of what this
acronym is until much further into the documentation. Replace
first occurence of OSD with Object Storage Daemon (OSD) or
link it to the glossary."

Improve the grammar in one sentence of the "Platforms" section of
doc/start/os-recommendations.rst. Improving that grammar involved
splitting the sentence into two sentences, but that's life. Update:
Anthony substantially rewrote this, so credit for this should rightly
go to him.

Update linking conventions in doc/start/documenting-ceph.rst, as
requested in
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/49889#issuecomment-1657750905 by
bluikko. This commit introduces a convention that could be read as
inconsistent with other conventions mentioned on the page altered by
this commit. Future PRs will attenuate this inconsistency.

The 4.14 LTS kernel has less than a year left in terms of maintenance,
drop it.
Also, the current wording with an explicit list of kernels tends to go
stale: it's missing the latest 6.1 LTS kernel.

This PR updates the branch names in the
documenting-ceph.rst file. It gets rid of all references
to the "master" branch, and updates the language to
reflect the state of play in 2022.
inb4: This PR merely removes the most egregious inaccuracies,
the ones that were most readily evident on a cursory perusal.
The full text remains to be carefully read and fitted together

This PR makes the "Ceph OSDs" and "MDSs" bullet points

I'm changing "3" to "three" for two reasons:
1. It's correct.
2. This allows me to test backports into Octopus, Pacific, and Quincy.
I am particularly interested to see what happens when I attempt
the backport into Octopus, because backports into Octopus have
failed. This will provide me with another unit of data.
