[horde] Suggestion - small change to Horde6 install instructions

[Sebastian Arcus]

The instructions to populate the database with tables are part of the 
install how-to. I was suggesting that maybe it isn't sufficiently 
obvious that populating the database with tables immediately after 
setting up the connection to the database is critical - otherwise Horde 
will crash with no obvious error message (at least in my case/setup).

On the other hand, maybe I was a bit too relaxed in following the 
install instructions a bit loosely, as some older versions of Horde used 
to offer in the GUI to populate the database - if I remember correctly.
