Documentation update

  This patch removes the documentation about obsolete command-line
arguments. The equivalent configuration options are already documented
so there;s not much information loss (except maybe for the --display
option).


Changelog:

 * documentation/configuring.sgml,
   documentation/running.sgml
   Add a warning saying that the x11drv section is getting outdated
   Add templates for missing configuration options to the x11drv section
   Remove obsolete command-line options

-          By default, <command>wine</command> runs applications on
-          your regular desktop.  Wine application windows intermingle
-          with native X11 applications.  Windows overlap each other,
-          and you can resize them in relation to each other.
-          Normally, when you minimize Wine windows, they collapse into
-          a small icon at the lower left corner of your desktop,
-          circumventing the behavior of your other non-Wine windows.
-          However, if you're running in <link linkend="managed-parameter">
-          --managed mode</link>, your Wine applications will minimize
-          just like your other windows.

-          Sometimes, you may want to restrict Wine windows to a
-          smaller area of your desktop.  This is what the
-          <parameter>--desktop</parameter> option controls.  Whenever
-          you pass this option to <command>wine</command>, it will
-          create a window of that size and use that as Wine's desktop
-          instead of borrowing the regular desktop space.  Wine will
-          then place the application window inside the new desktop
-          window.  If you minimize the application, it will iconize to
-          the bottom left corner of its own desktop window.

-          also in theory specify the coordinates of the upper left
-          corner of the desktop window, but your window manager may
-          choose to override that request.  The following invocation
-          would open a new 640 x 480 desktop window at coordinates
-          (10, 25):

-          By default, wine will display its windows on whichever X
-          Display you have in the <envar>$DISPLAY</envar> environment
-          variable.  Often, <envar>$DISPLAY</envar> is set to
-          <literal>:0</literal>, which sends all windows to the
-          primary video monitor on the current host machine.

-        <para>
-          To send windows to a different monitor on the same system,
-          you could change <literal>:0</literal> to a different
-          number, for example <literal>:1</literal> to send output to
-          the second monitor.  You can also specify other systems.  If
-          you were logged into the system <systemitem
-          class="systemname">alpha</systemitem>, but wanted wine to
-          run on another system on the network, <systemitem
-          class="systemname">beta</systemitem>, you might use a
-          <envar>$DISPLAY</envar> of <literal>beta:0</literal>.

-        <para>
-          You can also declare display values on the wine command
