Tim Bannister 322e88de9a Update device plugin documentation + related pages (#14331)
* Update device plugin docs for Kubernetes 1.14

& related pages

This change is mainly about feature-state shortcodes & similar.

(if there's a way to get the short version string, eg "1.14" rather
than "v1.14", then that could go in place of the hard coded value
in this commit).

* Fix code block formatting

eg code blocks incorrectly marked as:
```shell

* Use glossary shortcodes where appropriate

* Hyperlink to Prometheus

* Tidy Markdown formatting

* Change example vendor domain name

Use a name inside ".example" to highlight that this is a DNS
domain name.

* Reword device plugins documentation

* Tweak headings for device plugins

* Add "what's next" to device plugins docs

* Tweak wording for device plugins docs

* Add KubeVirt device plugins

Device Plugins are containers running in Kubernetes that provide access to a vendor specific resource.
<!--more-->
[Device Plugins](/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/compute-storage-net/device-plugins/) are containers running in Kubernetes that provide access to a vendor-specific resource. Device Plugins advertise these resources to {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="kubelet" >}}. They can be deployed manually or as a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="daemonset" >}}, rather than writing custom Kubernetes code.
