Updating and extending hints documentation

Added a short paragraph in place of "INTRO TO BE WRITTEN..." and updated
the paragraph about hints to reflect 'hintmatching' and the link text
rather than the URL

INTRO TO BE WRITTEN...
Hints are the way in which Vimperator allows you to follow links on a page. By
providing each link with a suitable hint, you can access all links with a
similar amount of minimal effort. This contrasts strongly with the traditional
approaches offered by the mouse, in which you must first find and then aim for
the link you would like, and by using repeated tabbing which quickly becomes
tedious unless you always visit the first link on a page.

Start QuickHint mode. In QuickHint mode, every hintable item (according to the
'hinttags' XPath query) is assigned a unique number. You can now either type
this number or type any part of the URL which you want to follow, and it is
followed as soon as it can be uniquely identified. Often it can be useful to
combine these techniques to narrow down results with some letters, and then
typing a single digit to make the match unique. Pressing [m]<Leader>[m]
(defaults to [c]:let mapleader = "\"[c]) toggles "escape-mode", where numbers
are treated as normal text. +
[m]<Esc>[m] stops this mode at any time.
