[Debian-handbook-translators] Preface vs foreword

[Patrick Kox]

Hi Petter, 

Thanks!

Now that I think of it, The book was originally in French so maybe this is a result from translating the French to English (most of my ebooks have a preface but not a foreword. 

Anyway, to keep some consistency I will be using the same so 'Introductie' for the preface and 'Voorwoord' for the foreword. 

Regards Patrick
