[OpenLayers-Dev] website update

[Tim Schaub]

Thanks Chris for updating the update_dev_dir.sh script so it also 
updates the website.

http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/changeset/11895/

I've removed the sponsorship README (which I think is no longer relevant).

http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/changeset/11900

And updated the terse docs on how the website resources are updated.
