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

* 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

As soon as a write operation to the hidden volume area is denied/prevented (to protect the hidden volume), the entire host volume (both the outer and the hidden volume) becomes write-protected until unmounted (the VeraCrypt driver reports the 'invalid parameter'
error to the system upon each attempt to write data to the volume). This preserves plausible deniability (otherwise certain kinds of inconsistency within the file system could indicate that this volume has used hidden volume protection). When damage to hidden
volume is prevented, a warning is displayed (provided that the VeraCrypt Background Task is enabled &ndash; see the chapter
