upgrade reference

[Ricky Nance]

It needs to be on the same machine, when you issue samba-tool domain
samba3upgrade --dbdir=/var/lib/samba --targetdir=/usr/local/samba
/etc/samba/smb.conf the dbdir is the old s3 files, the target dir is where
it should put the s4 database, and finally you have your old s3 smb.conf
file. Unless you want to see a BUNCH of output make sure logging is off in
your s3 config.
