Document Spectrum Fusion's CPU,Memory, and PV req's for each version

Other IBM Storage software products are publicly documenting their CPU, memory, and persistent volume sizing information. Spectrum Fusion should do this too. An example is table 2 and table 3 in this SPP support page. https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6612979#SPPContainer

    Ideally we also want to get to a point where all pods have a resource request and limit assigned to the critical pods. And an umbrella above that to set a profile for the deployment that would impact the request and limit of these critical pods so they can consume more resources based on the expected workload and the profile chosen.
