MSN Protocol documentation

[Dx]

Added an "index" section filled with nice red links inviting people to
write something in there.

What could be improved/added/modified:
-The location of the Login and SOAP sections. Login requires SOAP
-Webcam: I added it in the Other features section. I'm not sure if it
uses SLP for session initiation, then it would fit in P2P.
-Old-style invitations, not just file transfer. Some audio/video
features in the latest versions of the official client still use this.
-Maybe a dedicated section for vv features?

Also, navigation, anyone with leet wiki skillz here?
