This commit adds documentation explaining the need to have an initial
.active element in carousels.
<p>Bootstrap exclusively uses CSS3 for its animations, but Internet Explorer 8 & 9 don't support the necessary CSS properties. Thus, there are no slide transition animations when using these browsers. We have intentionally decided not to include jQuery-based fallbacks for the transitions.</p>

+ <h4>Initial active element required</h4>
+ <p>The <code>.active</code> class needs to be added to one of the slides. Otherwise, the carousel will not be visible.</p>

<h3>Optional captions</h3>
<p>Add captions to your slides easily with the <code>.carousel-caption</code> element within any <code>.item</code>. Place just about any optional HTML within there and it will be automatically aligned and formatted.</p>
