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](/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.
