End-user documentation for 7.x

[Miskell, Craig]

Nit pick: "It will help you keep your system up to date", or "It will
help you in keeping your system up to date".  I'm not sure which one you
intended.;-)

The page reflects the fact that yum hasn't been a part of 7.x, and it
shows a straightforward way to use Fedora Legacy on without explaining
too much details that aren't needed for basic usage.

If discussion of this page is finished, I'll rework it for 8.0
(including information on How to upgrade RPM and How to check if yum is
already installed).

When both docs are ready and published, I'd suggest to put a link to
that page on the "Download" page as many people simply try to skip the
docs and go directly to the downloads, which isn't appropriate here.
