Consider OS-focused reorganization of the Monitoring Agent installation instructions

      Consider replacing the existing pages on this page, with a set of instructions based on OS.

      https://mms.mongodb.com/help/monitoring/tutorial/set-up-mms/

      I.e.

      • Installing the Monitoring Agent on Debian or Ubuntu
      • Installing the Monitoring Agent on RHEL/Centos/Amazon Linux
      • Installing the Monitoring Agent on Windows
      • Deploying the Monitoring Agent in Production
      • Automatically Updating the Monitoring Agent
      • Additional Considerations for Python 2.4

      Make each page as brief as possible.

      For example, for Debian/Ubuntu, we really only need:

      sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev pip
      sudo pip uninstall pymongo
      sudo pip install pymongo
      cd mms-agent
      nohup python agent.py > /LOG_DIRECTOYR/agent.log 2>&1 &
      

      I would rather 1% of the time the instructions not work and 1% of the time the user comes out of this with Pymongo without C extensions, then 100% of the time have instructions that are very complicated.
