Make first pass at full doc coverage for structure.g[di]

To do this, the structure of the manual needed to be elaborated, which was
accomplished with a skeleton file, doc/chapters.autodoc, which is explicitly
loaded first.

Note that this portion of the manual may still need polishing; in particular,
perhaps it could use more examples, which would then double as tests in
tst/testall.g
