more Guidebook.mn tweaks
The sample map was being rendered in a proportional-width font for Guidebook.mn -> Guidebook.ps -> Guidebook.pdf so looked awful. It is quite hard to believe that no one ever noticed this. I wasn't sure how to force tty font, but it is straightforward to pick constant-width variant of Roman which seems to be 'roff's universal font. Prevent ".nethackrc" from being hyphenated and split across lines. Ditto for other file names in the same section even though they hadn't been positioned in spots where they got split. I put same thing into Guidebook.tex but I don't know whether their embedded dots will become a problem there. Loads of unmatched double quotes were confusing Emacs' nroff-mode (which unlike tex-mode for Guidebook.tex, wasn't being activated by default for Guidebook.mn). Supply missing closing quote for a bunch of things, convert literal '"' to '\(dq' for ones that aren't intended to have matching close quote. And change a bunch of instances of "text" to ``text'' for rendering as quoted strings. (There are a lot of single-quoted characters 'c' which should probably be `c' instead, but I haven't touched those.) There were several '\e' to render the 'escape' character, but that is something which can be changed at will. Use '\\' to explicitly show backslash instead. Change several ' - ' and '--' to '\(em' for M-sized dash. Right now they all have <space>\(em<space> but the spaces probably shouldn't be there. Change instances of 'number_pad' to '.op number_pad' to have it rendered as an option name. Remove the obsolete sentence which said that "Elbereth" might be conditionally excluded. (This change also made in Guidebook.tex.) Split some wide lines (wide in the source, not after rendering), although this wasn't done exhaustively. For the re-split lines, put each sentence on its own line as suggested by 'roff' man page.
