The terminology did not really make sense for a lot of these sub pages. This change should have been done long ago, but was probably delayed because some people in Odoo call the web client the "backend", which is really misleading. This commit also renames the title "Reference Guides" to "Reference", since this section does not contain any guides anyway. Part-of: odoo/documentation#1260
