Added a screenshot for MIDI patch change. Solves issue #7362.

First pass at reorganizing/cleaning up the MIDI part. A few other files were touched as well as they were referred to by files in the MIDI part, which lead to other connected things being pulled in. As this is only the first pass, there will be more necessary changes coming in the near future. Also, the lowest two levels of structure were mistakenly removed from the build system; these have been added back as they are necessary to keep the structure of the manual sane.

A <dfn>Patch Change</dfn> is Ardour's description for a combination of MIDI
program change and bank select messages, that typically instruct a
synthesizer or sampler to select a sound to use on any given channel. Patch
changes are shown within MIDI regions as small rectangles or
<dfn>flags</dfn>, with a vertical line showing where in the region the patch
change will occur.

Clarifying in which mode changes can be edited The above paragraph suggests that all changes are done in the Grab Mode instead of the Internal Edit Mode. It isn't intuitive to change the mode from G to E to edit the patch changes in view of the documentation and several users ran into this problem: https://discourse.ardour.org/t/how-do-i-modify-delete-a-patch-change/88413 https://discourse.ardour.org/t/g-e-mousemode-colors/89766 The documentation is clarified that while insertion happens in G mode, modification hapens in E mode.

change can also be modified by hovering the mouse pointer over the patch
change to be modified and moving the mouse wheel until the desired program
number is selected. The bank number can be modified similarly by holding down
the <kbd class="mod3"></kbd> key while moving the mouse wheel until the
desired bank is selected.

MIDNAM files assign human-readable names to the "sound coordinates" (Program
Change, Bank Select) of MIDI synthesizers and devices. A number of MIDNAM
files come bundled with Ardour; if the MIDNAM for a device is not included
with Ardour, <a href="@@midnam-ref">a custom MIDNAM file can be created</a>
for device in question.

<h3>Selecting a device</h3>
Initial cleanup of manual content. This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br /> to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup of a few sections that caught my eye.

Selecting a MIDNAM is only possible if there is no MIDI synth on the track in
question or the MIDI synth does not have a MIDNAM associated with it. In this
case, it is possible to select the desired MIDNAM from a combobox in the MIDI
track's header, usually directly below the track's fader. See <a
href="@@midi-track-controls">MIDI Track Controls</a> for more details.
