Improve typography (#120)

* Add unbreakable space before a reference or a citation

avoids ref to be put on next line or page...

* Add unbreakable space between I and verb

* Remove spacing before footnotes

Also moved it before the final sentence dots in many cases... might need
a review of what is best.  But this is a safe default choice from an
esthetic point of view.

* Improve footnotes and punctuations

Reverse order/kerning especially with sans-serif version.

* Remove manual enumerate

* Fix wording in a citation.

Reads better that way and is shorter.

* Use emph instead of italics

1) Markup semantic not style
2) Will deal with various level of empahasis
3) Was a mix of \it and \textit

* Fix usage of quotes

Also replaced some of then by \emph as it is (IMHO) more visually
pleasant.

* Captitalize before reference

* Correct dashes length

see here:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/em-dash-en-dash-how-to-use

* Remove space before label and homogenize caption

Apparently it can create a wrong reference, if notthing else shuts
texcheck up and cost nothing... so let's do it.

While at it adding a dot at the end of each caption.

* Add missing empty line before signature in preface

* Add a static checker target to makefile

Shall help prevent adding mistakes in new versions

When fermenting your dough for too long, the protease enzyme starts to

The gluten that normally traps the \ch{CO2} created
