manual: optimize for PDF formatting. (#1202)

Browse source 
Some of the table columns were not large enough to fit the text, or the words themselves were too big when smaller words would have done.

Lots of single-word lines at the ends of paragraphs.

Removed a bit of redundant information.

Vital links in the submitting/visiting sections needed to have visible URLs in case one really did print them out.

Added a copy of the BSD licence and a link to the website.
