[fpc-pascal] docs

[Gordon Findlay]

I've been programming a long time but when I first took up with Lazarus and
FPC there were three issues:

 - out of date documentation.
 - for many topics (for example in the LCL) there is formal documentation
but not tutorial material.
 - distros sometimes have quite old versions in their repos. For example my
opensuse machine right now is offering Lazarus 2.2.

[ fpcupdeluxe was invisible at the time.  And on a single monitor machine,
trunk version 3.9.9 with its greatly improved docked interface is a
blessing. ]

Addressing these issues is vital to attract new users.

I'm happy to help anyone writing updated tutorial material.
