docs: GCE network bandwidth is excellent, even btw zones

* Remove performance note that the GCE vs AWS network performance
is not an equal comparison. On both platforms, workers now span the
(availability) zones of a region.
* Testing host-to-host and pod-to-pod network bandwidth between nodes
(now located in different zones) showed no reduction in bandwidth

Notes:
* AWS is alpha
* AWS instances are located in the same region. Google instances are located in the same zone (helps bandwidth at the expense of fault tolerance).
* Network bandwidth fluctuates on AWS and Digital Ocean.
* Only [certain AWS EC2 instance types](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/network_mtu.html#jumbo_frame_instances) allow jumbo frames. This is why the default MTU on AWS must be 1480.
* Between Flannel and Calico, performance differences are usually minimal. Platform and configuration differenes dominate.
