Argon2id includes the requested output length in its computation, so deriving 192 bytes and using a prefix is not equivalent to deriving only the selected cipher's key material length. This differs from PBKDF2, where the prefix property made this detail invisible.
VeraCrypt derives the maximum header key material currently needed by the supported cipher/cascade set, which is 192 bytes, and then uses the required prefix for the selected encryption algorithm. For AES-XTS this means the first 64 bytes of the 192-byte Argon2id output are used.
Make this design rule explicit in code and documentation by introducing ARGON2_HEADER_KEYDATA_SIZE instead of relying implicitly on GetMaxPkcs5OutSize. If a future cipher or cascade requires more than 192 bytes, that must be handled as an explicit format/design change.
Document the 192-byte Argon2id header KDF output requirement so third-party implementations derive the same header key material.

* 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.
