Title:
  content-hub guide is confusing in examples

Status in content-hub package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was reading this guide:
  https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/apps/platform/guides/content-hub-guide

  while the first part is really well written, the second one is a bit
  confusing and mess up in examples.

  I'm referring to the second part as starting from "App registration as
  source or destination".

  There we find this snip for the manifest.json:
  ```
  hooks": {
          "APPONE": {
              "apparmor": "APPONE.json",
              "content-hub": "APPONE.json",
              "desktop": "APPNAME.desktop"
          }
  ```

  so we assume that a APPONE has:
   * an apparmor file called APPONE.json
   * a content-hub file called APPONE.json
   * a desktop file called APPNAME.desktop

  so we are saying that apparmor and content-hub files are the same, and
  APPONE != APPNAME. Is it right?

  No, I don't thing so... The right snip of code should be something like:
  ```
  hooks": {
          "APPNAME": {
              "apparmor": "APPNAME.apparmor",
              "content-hub": "APPNAME.content.json",
              "desktop": "APPNAME.desktop"
          }
  ```

  And the issue propagates below.. in fact at some point we read:
  ```
  Let’s look at one of these, APPONE.json:
  {
      "source": [
          "pictures"
      ]
  }
  ```

  so, that's APPONE.json (not specified if for apparmor or for content-
  hub, I assume it's the content-hub's one, but it's not specified)...

  And (again) some some lines after that:
  ```
  Looking at APPONE.json, we may see something like this:

  {
      "policy_groups": [
          "networking",
          "content_exchange"
      ],
      "policy_version": 1
  }
  ```

  Here I assume that the snip refers to the apparmor configuration, but
  again.. this is not clear!.

  If a developer reads this guide for the first time (I tried to
  understand and to study how Content-Hub works) can be confused by
  those filenames.

  
  Please consider a review for the second part as soon as possible.
