Updating Preface:

- PHP is not only a hypertext preprocessor (please
   correct my english, if it is not right :)
 - There are many people contributing to the doc
   framework, we can't name them
 - Added winhelp generation details, reordered
   format list
 - Removed snaps.php.net, as there are no manual
   snapshots there, but the ones at php.net
   are actual ones
 - some whitespace changes in global.ent
