Michael Friedrich 34bd8e14c3 Enhance the documentation and fix outdated information (preferences, etc.)
This applies a new structure for the main doc/ and modules/*/doc tree with

01-About.md
02-Installation.md
...

This allows us to link from the main doc directory into module specific
documentation entries.

Furthermore table formatting, examples, and missing settings have been added
where applicable.

This patch also takes care about proper URL anchors and file names and directories.
