[FLOW3-general] Apache config in Quickstart and Definitive Guide

Hi,

It just took me quite some time to get FLOW3 running on my Ubuntu
machine. Apache wouldn't allow disabling of MultiViews in the default
.htaccess. Turns out I needed to add "Options=MultiViews" to the
AllowOverride directive of my FLOW3 directory in httpd.conf like this:

<Directory /var/www/FLOW3/>
        AllowOverride FileInfo Options=MultiViews
</Directory>

I don't know if my system is some special case, but since the syntax
is a bit weird, I'd suggest to add a note to the Web Server
Configuration section of the Definitive Guide that this might be
necessary.

Also, I noted that the Quickstart Doc is lacking any information about
web server config. I feel that there should at least be some general
words in there between "Setting File Permissions" and "Testing The
Installation".

This might help some more people to get started easily with FLOW3. :-)

Best regards
Matthias
