expand on ProxyPassReverse args

split up the two arguments into their own paragraphs

+    <p><var>url</var> is a partial URL for the remote server. When the remote
+    server sends the specifically mentioned headers beginning with this partial
+    URL, the prefix from the remote server is replaced with a prefix that
+    points to the reverse proxy.
+    This parameter is usually the same as the second parameter of the 
+    <directive module="mod_proxy">ProxyPass</directive> directive, but it may
+    differ if the remote server uses a different scheme, host, port, or path
+    in the affected headers.  In configurations with 
+    <directive module="mod_proxy">ProxyPreserveHost</directive>, the hostname
+    in the partial URL may already be the hostname of the reverse proxy, which
+    will prevent the matching and replacement done by this directive.
