Justincc: Use 'megaregion' more consistently (it's not a proper noun that needs capitalization). Revert 'may' to 'will' see errors - text already says this only applies to regions that already have contents

Justincc: At least right now in opensim dev master, don't always appear to see messages on creating a megaregion (may be only if there are existing objects)

 Here is a diagram of possible configurations. This is not all inclusive but is a good example of layout for the regions.
-'''SPECIAL NOTE''' - Most Viewers still suffer the 4096 Teleport Bug where people cannot teleport more than 4096 regions away. OSGrid is centered @ 10000 10000. Some Viewers, such as MeerKat or Imprudence, have addressed this recently, others will likely follow suit. This bug applies to HyperGrided regions as well as Non-Hypergrid regions.

 Do not place Mega regions and normal regions any closer than 2 regions spaces apart, as they WILL interfere with each other.

		+	A newer way of supporting large regions is called [[Varregion]]. Unlike megaregions, this requires explicit viewer support. However, this support means that it does not need to rely on fragile hacks to work and will be much more functional and stable in the future.
