docs: Make lAtEX output *work*

pdflatex simply doesn't cut it.

This still results in an awkward pdf that starts with "Further
Reading" (the intro section is placed before it, but doesn't have a
chapter marker!) and ends with a massive "Other help pages" chapter
that includes *the entire rest of the docs*.

But it's generally readable and acceptably formatted (with a lot of
empty pages in between).
