docs: 0.2.6.3 — what was measured, the manual, and Sunday's checks

Why black and white is made with Ghostscript and how close it is to what
Elmer prints; why Print image goes through the engine's copy image, with
the table of what each other way failed on; what it cannot reach (a CSS
background picture) and what it costs (the clipboard lives in Wonder Ink
afterwards). The manual says Print page and Print image, and that the
preview turns grey. Sunday's paper checks for both, in testing.md.

## Wonder Ink — 0.2.6.1 to 0.2.6.3, before any goes to stable
Everything below was done in the lab except what a lab cannot do: paper,
a classroom's own graphics, a real keyboard, its network and its screen.
Those are these checks. Stable stays on 0.2.2 until they pass.
Before starting, on each machine: `dpkg-query -W ekklesia-classroom`
must say `0.2.6.1`. The desktops only get it once stable is moved, so on
must say `0.2.6.3`, which carries everything 0.2.6.1 and 0.2.6.2 did. The desktops only get it once stable is moved, so on
a desktop install it by hand for the test:
