17b5ae5f52 Various clean up (#134)
* Fix reference and grammar

* Remove obsolete package

* Use colored links in pdf, black when printed

We can debate the colors to use of course, I left the defaults in.
There are accessibility concerns with colors...

* Add supporter.csv to the list of TeX source

So we rebuild everytime we add a new supporter.

* Inline the list of supporters

Those guys are awesome, but do they really need to be in a table one per
line over 3 pages?

* Explicit figure location

h rarelly works, so making it clear top is also an option.

4637c29a37 Use Siunitx package for dealing with units (#129)
It is complicated :
[1] The International System of Units (si), https://www.bipm.org/en/
measurement-units/.
[2] International System of Units from nist, http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/
index.html.

And one will never get it right (space or not, half-space?) nor
consistent so using that instead.

I am not sure how times and hours, when to write digits and when in
letter so I did not change much..

Did not touch the tables as ebooks on github actions seems to break when
you look at them funny.

ca43ef0bd9 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
