GDP: rearrange manual

Despite me being fairly happy with out table of contents, I think we
could still improve the arrangement of subsections.  Here's my proposal.

LIMITED DISCUSSION
To keep discussion focused and as un-confused as possible, this is a
discussion *only* about the arrangement of subsections.  Other parts of
GDP will be discussed later.

This means:
- propose new/changed chapter/sections
- propose renamings of chapter/sections
- *do not* discuss new subsections or renamings of subsections.  That
 will come later.

GENERAL IDEAS
- the manual will be split even more into Learning Manual / Notation
 Reference.  This is the notation reference, so we assume that users
 have read the LM.  They know about music expressions, \override, etc.
 The LM will be increased to accomodate for this, but that's a separate
 discussion.
