GRHydro: update documentation glitches
Thanks to Bruno Giacomazzo for pointing these out. Fix some naming issues with GRHydro vs. Whisky in the GRHydro documentation. The Whisky maintainers are still listed as GRHydro maintainers. git-svn-id: http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinEvolve/GRHydro/trunk@128 c83d129a-5a75-4d5a-9c4d-ed3a5855bf45
