Martin Atkins 93651450b1 website: don't talk about graphs in the Getting Started guide
Previously we just assumed the reader was familiar with the idea of a
graph but didn't explain it.

Since graphs are an implementation detail of Terraform, rather than
essential information needed for new users, this revises the introduction
text to talk only about _dependencies_, which we assume the user is
familiar with as a more practical concept.

Additionally, Paul Hinze did a great talk on how Terraform uses graphs
at HashiConf 2016 which is good additional content for our existing
"Graph Internals" page, which includes a concise explanation of the
basics of graph theory.

Nick Fagerlund 8c7bfde292 Docs: Fix broken links and a broken example
These links were casualties of the core/provider split. There was also
an example that suggested cloning a subdirectory of a git repo.
