Community Platforms docs for Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode)

This pull request adds documentation to the Community Platforms section of the site, providing self-directed installation instructions for getting Flatcar running on Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode).

How to use

Follow the steps outlined in content/docs/latest/installing/community-platforms/akamai.md.

The initial steps around getting and preparing the image are still a work in progress. They currently cover fetching an image from the "beta" release channel, however, none of the existing images will work properly on Linode.

@tormath1 has been awesome, and hand-built an image with the latest Afterburn and Ignition patches that add full Linode Metadata Service support: https://bincache.flatcar-linux.net/images/amd64/9999.0.5+tormath1-linode/flatcar_production_akamai_image.bin.bz2. This image should be used for testing and validating the instructions in this pull request.

Testing done

Does linode support URL import? That could be convenient to avoid extra download. :D

I wish it did! That would be super useful! I can file a feature request ticket for it.
