fix for default boolean post values: the default value MUST NOT be TRUE,

because it's normal that a boolean value is missing in the post argument
if a checkbox is not selected.
Added also some style enhancements to IndexFederated, removed the Solr
attachment manual and replaced it with a link to the wiki which explains
this in more detail.
