use/httpserver.rst: multiple updates

* Update config variables
    * add favicon
    * host is nowadays known as hosts4
    * add hosts6
    * move keepalive above port as that is how it appears in the bot too
    * specify that HTTPd might require port change, not HTTP
    * HTTPd might not work if port is too low = port is under 1024
* Apache is in front of Supybot's HTTPd, not behind.

The HTTP comes with a couple of additional variables:
* :ref:`supybot.servers.http.host`: The host the bot will bind. In most of
the cases, you will use 0.0.0.0 (everything) or 127.0.0.1 (restricted to
local connections). Defaults to 0.0.0.0
* :ref:`supybot.servers.http.port`: The port the bot will bind. May not work
if the number is too low. Defaults to 8080 (alternative HTTP port).
* :ref:`supybot.servers.http.favicon`: Path to the file which is shown to
browsers as favicon.
* :ref:`supybot.servers.http.hosts4`: The IPv4 addresses where the bot
will bind. In most of the cases, you will use 0.0.0.0 (everything) or
127.0.0.1 (restricted to local connections). Defaults to 0.0.0.0
* :ref:`supybot.servers.http.hosts6`: The IPv6 addresses where the bot
will bind. Defaults to empty.
* :ref:`supybot.servers.http.keepAlive`: Determines weather the HTTP server
will run even if has nothing to serve. Defaults to False, because the HTTP
might require to change the port, if it is already taken.

At the root of the server, you will find a list of the plugins that have a Web
interface, and a link to them. Each plugin has its own subdirectory(ies).
You may also want to have Apache behind Supybot's HTTP server, if you want to
use subdomains. Here is an example of configuration (I didn't test it with the
rewrite, please notify me whether it works or not):
