Documentation fixes:
1) Replace http://distcc.samba.org with the new google code location 2) Add favicon.ico from the distcc.samba.org site 3) Use distcc@lists.samba.org as the only distcc mailing list (there were at least three mailing lists scattered around the docs, some of which don't even exist anymore!) 4) Update man pages and other docs to not use "distcc-pump" anywhere; it's now "pump mode" or "distcc's pump mode", or "distcc-pump mode". I also add, to the README, some discussion of scaling to hundreds of machines. Reviewed by fergus and klarlund
