Improve server section #33

There needs to be more information about the servers, ideally if you click the server it should take you to a sub page with all the information required to actually connect to the server, for instance the minecraft servers need to say which version of the mod they are running, the Gmod server should tell you what type of server is being run etc.

I can get behind this. Renaming the issue to make it a bit more specific to the request. I think this'll add a lot of value to the game servers in general – the easier it is for people to jump on, the more use we'll get out of them.

I think the most natural way to do this will be to have the connection guide as a Markdown field on the Server object. It should then be a piece of cake to then just render that like a README's rendered on GitHub.

(Also, I'm gonna give you props for making one of the first issues here that's really made me go 'okay, that's cool stuff.')

Should probably include things like map info, game time, number of players etc...

Any good APIs we can hook into for this stuff? In gem form, ideally.

I've found:

Nothing for GMod or ARMA, really, unless there's an API we can shoot off to with HTTP requests.

Need to look into how to render Markdown.
