de02bcd718 manual: Generate covers for French, Spanish manuals
This required some adjustment of the template to increase the size of
the box on the rear cover containing the text.

Text was translated by Google Translate; I have not yet had native
speakers verify the accuracy of the translations.

868e9fa6c8 manual: Convert cover SVG to a template file
We generate the previous SVG by doing sed substitutions to insert the
front cover and spine titles, plus the rear cover text. A follow-up
commit will generate the French and Spanish covers as well.

1d701b183f manual: Initial version of manual cover
Having this will allow us to put up printed Freedoom manuals for sale.
The SVG here is compatible with the template provided by lulu.com, which
is where I'm planning to put up the online store. Lulu expects a PDF, so
there's a Makefile target that uses Inkscape to convert the SVG to PDF
format.

The cover artwork here is by Reddit user Illustrious-Gift4206 who
created fanart of many of the Freedoom monsters. Ony my request he has
graciously agreed to donate his artwork to the project for use.

Currently this is just the English version of the manual cover. I'm
planning in a follow-up commit to convert the SVG into a template, so
that we can autogenerate covers for all the different translations.
