Michael Schurter c7f01a0b7a docs: add lots of links to plugin guide 
Add links to plugin guide because its buried under Docs -> Internal. At
least one user couldn't find it:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nomad-tool/5sR8MTGZFrM/8bOExpcJAgAJ

Link from:
 - Devices index
 - Devices community page
 - Drivers index
 - Drivers community page

I erred on the side of over-linking because it's just a single concise
sentence and I'd hate for people to struggle finding the guide.

Also remove some very old (4 years!) and confusing docs from the driver
index page.

Device Plugins

Device plugins are used to detect and make devices available to tasks in Nomad. Devices are physical hardware that exists on a node such as a GPU or an FPGA. By having extensible device plugins, Nomad has the flexibility to support a broad set of devices and allows the community to build additional device plugins as needed.

The list of supported device plugins is provided on the left of this page. Each device plugin documents its configuration and installation requirements, the attributes it fingerprints, and the environment variables it exposes to tasks.

For details on authoring a device plugin, please refer to the plugin authoring guide.
