Documentation improvements:

o Added fl_text_extents() to the 'Drawing things in FLTK' section
	o Added 'see also' sections to all the text measuring functions in that section
	o Added detail to fl_text_extents() docs regarding it not handling FLTK symbols,
	  as non-public comment for that method indicates.
