apache-frontend: Update documentation to match reality

It means that a single main instance of Apache will be used to act as frontend
for many slaves.
Software type
=============
Apache frontend is available in 3 software types:
* default : The standard way to use the apache frontend configuring everything with a few given parameters
* custom-personal : This software type allow each slave to edit its apache configuration file
* custom-group : This software type use a template given as a parameter on master instance to generate apache configuration for all slaves

How to have custom configuration in frontend server
===================================================
In your instance directory, you, as sysadmin, can directly edit two
configuration files that won't be overwritten by SlapOS to customize your
instance:
* $PARTITION_PATH/srv/srv/apache-conf.d/apache_frontend.custom.conf
* $PARTITION_PATH/srv/srv/apache-conf.d/apache_frontend.virtualhost.custom.conf
The first one is included in the end of the main apache configuration file.
The second one is included in the virtualhost of the main apache configuration file.
SlapOS will jsut create those two files for you, then completely forget them.
Note: make sure that the UNIX user of the instance has read access to those
files if you edit them.
