Conrad Hoffmann 402d2eacbc doc: account for PG autoscaling being the default
The current documentation tries really hard to convince people to set
both `osd_pool_default_pg_num` and `osd_pool_default_pgp_num` in their
configs, but at least the latter has undesirable side effects on any
Ceph version that has PG autoscaling enabled by default (at least quincy
and beyond).

Assume a cluster with defaults of `64` for `pg_num` and `pgp_num`.
Starting `radosgw` will fail as it tries to create various pools without
providing values for `pg_num` or `pgp_num`. This triggers the following
in `OSDMonitor::prepare_new_pool()`:

- `pg_num` is set to `1`, because autoscaling is enabled
- `pgp_num` is set to `osd pool default pgp_num`, which we set to `64`
- This is an invalid setup, so the pool creation fails

Likewise, `ceph osd pool create mypool` (without providing values for
`pg_num` or `pgp_num`) does not work.

Following this rationale:

- Not providing a default value for `pgp_num` will always do the right
  thing, unless you use advanced features, in which case you can be
  expected to set both values on pool creation
- Setting `osd_pool_default_pgp_num` in your config breaks pool creation
  for various cases

This commit:

- Removes `osd_pool_default_pgp_num` from all example configs
- Adds mentions of the autoscaling and how it interacts with the default
  values in various places

For each file that was touched, the following maintenance was also
performed:

- Change interternal spaces to underscores for config values
- Remove mentions of filestore or any of its settings
- Fix minor inconsistencies, like indentation etc.

There is also a ticket which I think is very relevant and fixed by this,
though it only captures part of the broader issue addressed here:
