- Add php-apache to the install example (pacman -S php alone does not
  enable PHP in Apache on Arch Linux)
- Add mention of php-fpm for FastCGI setups
- Remove sudo from systemctl command (# prompt implies root)
- Fix example title: 'Install PHP with MySQL, GD' -> 'Install PHP with GD'
  to match the actual command (pacman -S php-gd)
- Correct the extension activation paragraph: on Arch, pacman does not
  automatically add lines to php.ini; the user must manually uncomment
  the relevant extension= line in /etc/php/php.ini
