Various review edits for XDS
Took care of review comments from Sebastien
to clear up some terminlogy, update the
create-app-workflow.png image to include
declaring a project. Fixed a link to the
XDS user guide to be guppy-specific.
Included more explanation regarding
aborting an ongoing installation.
v2: squased version due to files being (re-)moved
