[weld-dev] ref guide (re)draft ready

[Dan Allen]

I've made it all the way through the ref guide with revisions that reflect
that changes to the RI and spec names and the latest nomenclature and
semantics from the spec. It's now ready for a technical review and
proofreading (in trunk)

https://svn.jboss.org/repos/weld/doc/trunk/reference
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/weld/doc/trunk/reference

Since there was so much to change, I'm sure there are places where the
semantics didn't get properly updated or an explanation is still out of
date. Also, there were some areas of the ref guide that were thin, and I
didn't have time to fill it all in. If you feel comfortable explaining a
topic, please don't be shy to revise or suggest revisions.

Here are some notes to consider:

- Java SE sections need review for accuracy, relevance
- Extending CDI (extend.xml) is extremely thin, to the point of being
marginally useful compared to the spec
- Weld extensions (extensions.xml) is underwhelming; do we have more to say
than just about logging?
- The chapter on producer fields (producerfields.xml) is missing, though
producer fields are explained in intro.xml
- The Weld SPI needs to be reviewed for accuracy, relevance (ri-spi.xml);
this was a *long* chapter and I just don't know the Weld SPI yet

I did add a lot of content while revising, but the ref guide can always be
improved.
