Added some documentation explaining "managed=False" vs. "proxy=True".
These features look similar, but they're not identical. They can't be merged
into one (without requiring at least two Meta parameters anyway), so we've made
them have APIs that match their natural use-cases most easily.
Anyway, the documentation explains both the details and gives some simple to
follow rules.
