[documentation] Features page update for 5.0

[Chris Kennedy]

Well, I haven't done this yet as you can tell. This is because working
on code is much more fun than working on documentation ;).

Anyway, today I stumbled upon Kristjan's LinuxTag promotional materials
(brochure and poster) for Drupal and they are amazing! See the blog post
at http://kika.trip.ee/node/190 and PDF at
http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal.booklet.pdf

Whenever we get around to updating the features list for Drupal 5, we
should definitely recreate the brochure PDF.
