Title: corrections and clarifications for Finagle

Add instructions for a console that can import finagle things. I needed it,
maybe other folks will also. Show how to create+resolve Futures+Promises in
the REPL.

Change flatMap example to clarify which params are Future-thingies vs thingies.
Instead of throwing a "map" into a flatMap example, bring it out into its
own example. My puny brain took a while to figure out the combined example.

Show examples for using the concurrent combinators. I really wanted an example
for select; its API wasn't what I expected (though it makes sense in hindsight).
But it looked funny that just one of these had an example so I added examples
for the others too.

The simple HTTP client and server examples in the Service section had drifted
far enough away from the current API such that I had a tough time figuring out
the API. So updated them, also filling in some of the setup which the examples
assumed.
