Add something about permissions in the Quick Tour #4062

Description

@wouterj

In the Quick Tour, we show the installation process, but we don't say anything about permissions. This means people get confused when it doesn't work and have to search themselves for a solution, that's not good for the experience.

We should at last include a reference to http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html#book-installation-permissions imo.

Many thanks to @rodolfobandeira for explaining this issue to me on irc:

<ule> hey guys whatsup
<ule> I'd like to suggest something to put on documentation
<ule> I was trying to install symfony on my Amazon Ubuntu server and I had to change my /var/www/html folder to www-data group
<ule> and put my ubuntu default user to www-data
<ule> WouterJ: I didn't read nothing about folders write and read policies.
<ule> WouterJ: I get noticed about  writte cache error when I saw my /var/httpd/error.log
<WouterJ> ule: yeah, I confused it with the book installation chapter, where we do talk about permissions: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html#book-installation-permissions
<ule> WouterJ: great! thank you
<ule> WouterJ: this installation link is much better than the quick tour
