This starts mostly from scratch. It removes big chunkgs of the old manual,
the old pictures and starts with new visuals and new descriptions. A lot
more work is needed, but it's a good start.

Both autogroup and manual creation of trips is explained. Once the user
looks at manual creation, the other trip manipulation options should be
fairly self-explanatory.

Decided to split OSTC3 and Petrel in the ReleaseNotes (as the Petrel was
already supported in 3.0) and added the Suunto DX as well.

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.
