[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: reworded and reordered the bindings page, plus minor tweaks
Reordered the bindings into alphabetical order, added a link to
the php-libvirt source on Github, plus gave the direct package
names needed for Python usage on RHEL/Fedora, and Ubuntu.
---
At some point the "Windows" statement on this page should be reworded or made
a bit neater too. Not just yet though. :)

<h1 >Bindings for other languages</h1>
<p>
- Libvirt comes with bindings to support other languages than
- pure <strong>C</strong>. First the headers embeds the necessary
- declarations to allow direct access from <strong>C++</strong>
- code, but also we have bindings for higher level kind of languages:
+ Libvirt supports C and C++ directly, and has bindings available
+ for other languages:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <strong>Python</strong>: Libvirt comes with direct support for
- the Python language (just make sure you installed the libvirt-python
- package if not compiling from sources). See below for more
