Newsfeed changes

The news feed page[s] were not laid out well. Two pages, disjointed information, hard to figure out how to use the optional parameters...

Thankfully, someone told me.

The new page is ready for your review. Please compare these two:

Description:
PDF Tools is, among other things, a replacement of Emacs's DocView for PDF files. The key difference is that pages are not pre-rendered by e.g. ghostscript and stored in the file-system, but rather created on-demand and stored in memory. This rendering is performed by a special library named, for whatever reason, poppler, running inside a server program. This program is called epdfinfo and its job is to successively read requests from Emacs and produce the proper results, i.e. the PNG image of a PDF page. Actually, displaying PDF files is just one part of PDF Tools. Since poppler can provide us with all kinds of information about a document and is also able to modify it, there is a lot more we can do with it.
