"suffix" is the more common English term, but NASM used "postfix" for
a long time. Allow them as aliases, and tidy up the documentation
accordingly. While making these changes, tidy up the handling of
options in the index.

The column width really wasn't quite enough.
Make the text size in Appendix F which can be rather wide
smaller. There is also no real reason to put that in a background box.
