Ron Stone f125a8b892 Remove spurious escapes (r8,dsR8)
This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

==================================================
In-Service Versus Reboot-Required Software Updates
==================================================
In-Service (Reboot-not-Required) and a Reboot-Required software updates are
available depending on the nature of the update to be performed.
In-Service software updates provide a mechanism to issue updates that do not
require a reboot, allowing the update to be installed on in-service nodes and
restarting affected processes as needed.
Depending on the area of software being updated and the type of software change,
installation of the update may or may not require the |prod| hosts to be
rebooted. For example, a software update to the kernel would require the host to
be rebooted in order to apply the update. Software updates are classified as
reboot-required or reboot-not-required (also referred to as
in-service) type updates to indicate this. For reboot-required updates, the
hosted application pods are automatically relocated to an alternate host as part
of the update procedure, prior to applying the update and rebooting the host.
