* include/freetype/freetype.h, include/freetype/ftchapters.h: Add
a preliminary section with some explanations about user allocation.
* src/tools/docmaker/tohtml.py (HtmlFormatter.section_enter):
Don't abort if there are no data types, functions, etc., in a
section.
Print synopsis only if we have a data type, function, etc.
* docs/INSTALL.ANY, docs/INSTALL, docs/INSTALL.UNX, docs/CUSTOMIZE,
docs/INSTALL.GNU, docs/TRUETYPE, docs/DEBUG, docs/UPGRADE.UNX,
docs/VERSION.DLL, docs/formats.txt: Revised, formatted.
