manual: minor fixes. (#1051)
- Edited out the references to "Cannon".
- Clarified that F11 isn't an on/off toggle. (The Spanish seemed fine?)
- Reworded the missile description to do damage to imply it works better on *lower*-level monsters rather than higher, since the tripod and bigtech are both immune to the blast.
- Created new illustration of the savegame menu to replace that "C" with an "E".

87a8b64810 manual: Reduce number of table columns.
commit 89f918f517 last year changed the manual to build as an A5
booklet. However, some of the tables now look very compressed with the
smaller page width. We can make things look a lot nicer by reducing the
number of columns:

* Weapons table: sprite column is eliminated (sprite is kept, but moved
  to the name column), and ammo column (moved to description column).
  This is a reduction from five columns to three in total.
* Special items table: name and description columns are merged. This is
  a reduction from three columns to two.
* Monsters table: name and description columns are merged. This is a
  reduction from three columns to two.

89f918f517 Change manual to build as A5 paper size.
This seems like a better choice for the manual since it is a "booklet"
size similar to the original Doom manual, rather than a "full page"
size that is rather unusual for a book.

Several changes are needed to allow asciidoctor to successfully produce
a PDF. The main change is to set a bunch of images to 100% width,
especially in tables where this means "100% of cell width". This allows
the tables to scale down successfully to the smaller size. I have also
adjusted the column widths of various tables to accommodate the smaller
size without the text wrapping awkwardly.

e054e81500 Add Spanish translation of manual.
Credit goes to CyberSaurus and DoomguyAlighieri on the Freedoom Discord
who translated this in Microsoft .docx format. I think converted it back
into Asciidoc format and added it to the build.

82b14b3b55 levels: Change “chapter” terminology to “episode”
A generic term like this isn’t really suitable for trademark, nor
likely to ever be disputed.  The community and the engine both heavily
bias toward “episode” and indeed most other games do.

Closes: #682

33d2d14cd2 Make: build manual PDF for install and dist targets
This is largely being kept optional due to asciidoctor-pdf’s failure
to actually work on Arch Linux, but if it runs fine, we get a nice PDF
manual!

b2ca8cbfde Organize .gitignore
Organize .gitignore by moving all patterns into a top level sorted
.gitignore file. With this change both "git status" and
"git-ls-ignore-index" should return cleanly. The later checks if any
files in the index are ignored.

f16c87281e manual: repair hyperlinks to the savegame section
Misspelled as “savegames,” found when I was trying to build with a2x
which seems far more strict on targets existing than asciidoctor-pdf.
(I’m on Arch, without an asciidoctor-pdf package…)
