[Opensim-dev] Overhauled some of the basic OpenSim instructions on the wiki

Hi folks,
Because I'm the exception that proves the rule, I spent quite a lot of time today overhauling the basic OpenSim wiki
configuration instructions at
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Configuration
I deleted a lot of the old out-of-date misleading information and tried to simplify the text. I also removed some
information that is better explained in the various .ini.example files. At this stage, experience suggests that
duplicating this information on the wiki just leads to it becoming stale and misleading.
I've also added addition text for standalone setup instructions in 0.7-rc1 and onwards (these are also in the README.txt
file in the OpenSim distribution - in this case I think the duplication is better than not).
I haven't yet added 0.7-rc1 grid setup instructions though I have added an extra notice on how they've probably changed.
In fact, these will be simpler in the future since a basic setup now only requires you to start up a single Robust.exe
(thanks Melanie :)
If people want to take a look over it that would be great (or even update it if necessary). I think that we should keep
this page as simple as reasonably possible and shunt more advanced information over to other pages (preferably with an
entry in the main user page at
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/User_Documentation
as well.
