When I originally created the Data Portability section, I created a number of shortguides in order to embed relevant instructions into the new data portability guides. For example: 1. I extracted the Download a Disk over SSH section of the Copying a Disk over SSH guide and put it into a new copy-disk-over-ssh-short shortguide 2. I then embedded this shortguide into the content's original Copying a Disk over SSH guide, and I also embedded it into the new Download Files from your Linode guide. This was also done for other instructions: making a database dump with mysql, and using filezilla to download files. This proved to be harder to copy edit, as copy edit changes inside a shortguide can result in unintended changes to the "flow" of the embedding guide. This commit is rolling back most of the shortguides in favor of just linking to the content. To take the example of copying a disk over SSH, I am: 1. Pasting the content of the copy-disk-over-ssh-short shortguide back into the Copying a Disk over SSH guide, where it originally lived. 2. Linking to that guide from the Download Files from your Linode guide.

This PR is a followup to #2040:
In that previous PR, a number of shortguides were created to embed instructions in the new Download Files from your Linode guide. This proved hard to copy edit, as changes in the shortguides made for unexpected changes in the flow of the embedding guide.
This PR removes most of the shortguides from that PR and updates the Download Files from your Linode guide so that it just links to the instructions.
