Setup of the MediaWiki software on the THCC web site.

Version 1.14.0
Added favicon.ico and thcc.gif from old web site
Set $wgLogo = "";
MediaWiki config changes
Allow tidy URL like http://thcc2009.co.uk/wiki/Main_Page rather than long and messy ones like http://thcc2009.co.uk/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
Change home page to be http://thcc2009.co.uk/wiki/Home rather than http://thcc2009.co.uk/wiki/Main_Page. Set Main page to transclude Home page.
