last? boulder change - Guidebook update

Browse Source 
Describe the new feature of m<dir> making it feasible to move to a
boulder'd spot without pushing.  Giving specific information among
vague descriptions is awkward....

While in there, move a handful of sentences to separate lines as per
the 'roff guidelines.  I did the same for Guidebook.tex even though
it's not needed there, to try to keep things parallel.
