[documentation] multi site docs

[Anisa]

Boo!  :)  I still think it's visually difficult.   It feels... wrong
somehow. Certainly, the sites are all managed in one directory tree, but
then why bother with tree, why not just say Drupal directory?  Or Drupal
installation?  When I said I'd never heard of it, I meant in the context of
multi sites on Drupal.  Why do you need tree, what does it make better, and
why aren't you writing multi site documentation while you're at it?  ;)

Sorry to be picky!  I'm just trying to understand.  :)
