April 2022 - Update 1

Many small improvements, several typos fixed, and flow refactoring, including:
- Introduction: update references
- Basic Concepts I: average computation reference, improved catastrofic cancellation, added compensation algorithms, added C++ standards compatibility note, moving implicit promotion, reorganized floating-point section
- Basic III: parenthesis and brackets, better description for alignment in sizeof
