I have updated the page. Text is now more version agnostic. Added 'notes 
for grass6 users at end of page, with the suggestion to move to grass 
7'. Also removed some dead links. It would be good if we could add more 
recent examples (articles, tutorials, blog posts) in a separate examples 
section.

I kept the link to https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/R_statistics/rgrass7 
but what about merging it with R_statistics? If we do, can keep 
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/R_statistics/spgrass6 as a page to go 
for grass6 users.
