Fix permissions on Ubuntu and relative instead of absolute default times
in planner
This contains two changes: One documents the fact that in the planner the
default for time is relative and an absolute time needs an @ sign.
The other hopefully explains how to solve permission problems for USB
devices on Ubuntu: I am told, an USB dongle that pretends to be a serial
port by default does not have the required permissions for the standard
user to write. The transfer then fails with an 'obscure' error message.
The transfer works if subsurface is run by root (which obviously is a bad
idea) or with chmod. Unfortunately, at least Ubuntu 'fixes' permissions
on reboot. So one either has to fiddle with this (seems to be more
complicated) or add the user to the group 'dialout" which gets write
permissions to serial lines.
This is in theory. I don't have access to an Ubuntu installation to see if
all this is indeed the case. That's why I did not send the patch in the
past. But I think this is still better than what we have so far.

Most everything was a top level chapter - this tries to impose some
structure. It also moves the "finding the device" section closer to where
it should be in the logical flow.
This also made the header more "asciidoc compliant" and added the other
significant authors to the list.
Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
This changes the capitalization of headings and aims to get a consistent
style of internal links. Linking to chapter numbers is very fragile as
asciidoc sadly doesn't support this in an automated fashion - so instead
we reference chapter titles (also manual, but at least less fragile when
chapters are inserted)

You can do "make doc" in the main directory to create the html version,
and if you want to play around with it, do "make show" in the
Documentation subdirectory to start firefox on the end result.
It's by no means perfect, but it gives somewhat reasonable results, and
this is enough initial work for people to play around with, I think.
NOTE! You need "asciidoc" installed to do this: it's a python program,
so it should be pretty easy even on non-Linux platforms. And on Linux,
most distributions package it, so you just have to do something like
yum install asciidoc
to get it (replace with apt-get/zypper/whatever).
Asciidoc can generate other output too (man-pages, LaTeX, etc), maybe
people want to play with that part too.
