User manual: text to explain the user survey

I modified Tim Wooton's text, among others doing it in the writing
style of the manual (e.g. no second person).

After using _Subsurface_ for a week or so, a one-box survey will pop up when
you launch the program. The survey is entirely optional, you control what, if
any, data is sent to the _Subsurface_ team. Any data that you choose to send
will be very welcome, and will only be used to steer future development
effort and direction. If you carry out the survey, or click the option not to
be asked again, that should be the last time you'll be bothered by the pop-up,
but if your diving and/or subsurface habbits change and you wish to provide
another survey you can do this by launching _Subsurface_ with --survey on the
command line.

The user survey
---------------
In order to develop _Subsurface_ in a way that serves it users in the best possible way,
it is important to have some information about these users. Upon launching _Subsurface_
after using this software for a week or so, a one-box user survey pops up. It is entirely
optional and the user controls what, if any, data are sent to the _Subsurface_ development
team. Any data that the user chooses to send is extremely useful, and will only be
used to steer future development and to customise the software to fit the needs of
the _Subsurface_ users. If one completes the survey, or clicks the option not to
be asked again, that should be the last communication of this nature one receives.
However, if one's diving and/or subsurface habits change and one wishes to provide
another survey, this can be done by launching _Subsurface_ with the _--survey_ option on the
command line.
