Changed all link names from the section number to a sensible label.
Section numbers were 2.3.2.1. in the section names and 2.3.2.1 in the TOC.
I settled for the former everywhere. "Misc OS" is now called "Ports".
Checked all internal links, some of them were falsely pointing to renumbered
sections. This should no longer happen.
And in case some of you think "This must have been a lot of work!", that
does not even begin to describe it...
