documentation for PR #1071 - highlight criticalhp

Pull request from vultur-cadens: add a new status highlight pattern OPTIONS=hilite:hitpoints/criticalhp/color&attribute to highlight hit points when they drop to the point where prayer classifies them as a major problem. The threshold for that varies depending on max HP and experience level. It affects hitpointbar as well as the status field for hit points. Right now a highlight rule for HP down or HP changed or HP up takes precedence over criticalhp until the temporary highlight times out. I'm not sure how best to deal with that. With regeneration and an up or changed rule for HP, the criticalhp highlight probably won't be seen even with a very short statushilites timeout. I've added a fixes entry and updated Guidebook.mn but Guidebook.tex is lagging. Closes #1071
