8e0185fbb4 Move several images from "user-attachments" to Images
Any image that is pasted into the wiki at github gets uploaded as a
"user-attachments/assets" file and won't be cloned if you clone the
repo for offline use.

This commit moves four such images (the only one remaining in the
text) to the Images directory where they'll stay part of the repo and
clone with the rest of it.

30e1a250ff Remove wikilink from table
It doesn't work because of the "|" in the link screwing up the table
formatting.

The WMS_USGS files are in Online/nationalmap.gov.  I'd left off the

Online maps require cURL *and* Magick.

I'm not bothering to say "GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick", because I am
trying to discourage any use of ImageMagick.  ImageMagick 7 doesn't
work with Xastir, and ImageMagick 6 is old, even though some package
managers still have it.  Let's stave off queries about it by not
bringing it up at all.

e60f62a26b Redo all my table work, rename a file
My "duplicate" file wasn't an exact duplicate --- I'd been editing one
file and viewing a different one, and somehow diff didn't tell me they
were different.

Get the one remaining version the way I actually wanted it.

Also, to prevent this "github renames my files" nonsense a second
time, rename the other file I've recently created to what Github wants
to call it.
