Update the install guidelines for perf.webkit.org

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Zoltan Horvath]

The current install guideline for perf.webkit.org discourages the use of the installed Server application.
I've actualized the documentation for Mavericks, and modified the guideline for using the Server app.

This sounds as if using Server app is necessary. We should emphasize that this is discouraged.

We should keep the old instruction for the case when you didn't start Server app.

We can remove this now that we have a section dedicated for Server.app.

> Websites/perf.webkit.org/Install.md:60
> +Hint: The apache logs are located at `/private/var/log/apache2`.

I don't think "Hint:" is necessary.

> Websites/perf.webkit.org/Install.md:78
> +where <Realm> is replaced with the realm of your choice. (Realm will show up on the username/password popup.)

I don't what you're referring to by "popup".

> Websites/perf.webkit.org/Install.md:90
> +Hint: The binaries located in /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/

I don't think we need "Hint". Just say it.

> Websites/perf.webkit.org/Install.md:103
> +Hint: If you rerun the command, it will drop and reinitialize all the tables.

I don't think this description is useful since the entire section is titled "Initializing the Database".
