Documentation: Remove XHTML spec and fix errors (#1547)

Browse Source 
* Documentation: Remove XHTML spec and fix errors
None of the docs follow the XHTML specification, which means
that programs that expect this (such as Gnome Web) as it is advertised
as such, will completely fail to parse it as it is incorrect syntax. So
it is removed.

* Remove .chm files
