Guidebook.tex quoting

Browse Source 
Change instances of 'C' and ``C'' to `C'.
Change a few double quotes, "..." to ``...''.
Remove some trailing spaces (for Guidebook.mn too).

One tweak in wording:  for #offer, ``use `m' to skip items on altar''
followed by ``you'll need to find an altar'' sounded strange.  Move the
``skip items on altar'' sentence after the ``need an altar'' sentence.
