Added a bunch more openings to my Every Opening and Why You Should Play it thread

There's a lot of information on how to play openings, but less on which openings you should play and why. So without further ado... Every Opening and Why You Should Play It (I'll be adding to this, so bookmark if you want to come back to it)
