[Emacs-ada-mode] updated ada-mode with manual

I've posted a slightly updated ada-mode on the web site, and a
substantially updated manual.

See manual http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html.

The ada-mode distribution is now named 'ada-mode-<date>.tar.gz', and
contains a README file with installation instructions.

The manual is included in the distribution, in both info and html
format. The html version is also available on the website;
http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/ada-mode.html

I've improved the sections on installation and compiling/executing.
I've added a compiling/executing example.

I have not modified the Ada menu. After experimenting with compiling
using the menu, I think it's pretty good as it stands. However, it
definitely needs to be explained, which is what I've tried to do in
the manual, particularly the example.

I need to add an example of using the Ada menu commands with a project
file.

Let me know if this helps.

I'm still open to modifying the Ada menu, but we need to be sure the
result works well for all the cases:

Single file main, no project file

multiple file project, no project file

multiple file/multiple directory project, with project file


I'd like to change "check file" to "check", and have it run 'gnatmake
-c' on the current main; that would be more in keeping with
recommended practice. It would also set the main if not set yet, as
"build" does.

I'd also like to add a menu command "set main" to just set the main
file.


I have not made any progress on compiling 'convert_project'; maybe
next week :).
