FTP server documentation needs update #96

Now that the KVM host serves everything the bastion needs to boot via HTTP, the FTP server and its variables need to be updated to reflect that.

An FTP server is still required when the user is booting the KVM host(s) for the first time, but after that it is not required.

I haven't figured out yet how to differentiate / describe these two functions in all.yaml and the documentation.

fix: Change ftp server to file server (#102)
0e5c111 
Related to Issue #96 

The name 'FTP server' is confusing since the KVM host is now capable of
hosting and serving necessary files via http only. Update the docs and
variables to represent this change.

Also, enable using either ftp or http to serve config files for the
bastion. FTP is still the only option for booting the KVM hosts, as that
is the only option for the HMC to network boot from. And HTTP will still
be installed and used on the bastion as it is required. But with these
changes, someone using a pre-existing KVM host and NAT-based networking
can use only HTTP if they'd like. And someone using an FTP server for
booting of the KVM host(s) can use that same FTP server to boot the
bastion.
