git-svnimport is no longer supported, so don't mention it in the documentation. This also updates the description, removing the historical discussion, since it mostly dealt with how it differed from svnimport. The new description gives some starting points into the rest of the documentation.

Replaces the remaining comparison to git-svnimport with pointers to the rest of the documentation.
