Added .htaccess files for shadow/, data/, and /.
I added related information to the Bugzilla Guide, and tacked in a couple of last-minute additions. Also fixed the annoying "Tip: HINT:" thing.

+I've&nbsp;used&nbsp;apache,&nbsp;installation&nbsp;is&nbsp;really&nbsp;straightforward.<br>
+After&nbsp;reading&nbsp;the&nbsp;Unix&nbsp;installation&nbsp;instructions,&nbsp;I&nbsp;found&nbsp;that&nbsp;it&nbsp;is<br>
