Deployment/Planning: add Sdbinst.exe usage info

Browse Source 
Proposed changes:

- add Windows Server 2016 to the **Applies to** list
- insert sample output from the command Sdbinst.exe /?
  with description line above the code block
- rearrange the command options conventions line
  so it matches the command output more closely
- move the 2 bottom entries in the table to the top
  to match the command line order more closely
