Update feature list in the documentation
In Quick facts section: - restructure the Supported platforms section; - do not tie KfW to 1.11 release; - move references to GSS-API extensions to Feature list table. In Feature list section: - reformat the table; - move PRNG and Pre-auth mechanisms into their own tables; - clarify GS2 feature description; - reference rfc6680 for GSS-API naming extensions. Lowercase the words in the title of the document. ticket: 7455
