* Change opensim.ini.example guidance on asset_database setting to be "local" or "grid"

* See OpenSim.ini.example for more details
* The old sqlite/mssql settings were redundant and effectively ignored anyway.  Hence, there's no need for you to change your current settings, which will still work
* In fact, asset_database should probably be moved to [Network] since it's meaningless for standalone installations
