Various small fixes

[alexdewar]

The most important thing this PR fixes is a few broken links.

Besides that, I've also tweaked the formatting in a few places as well as changing the wording and fixing spellings etc. (most of these predate the transition to workbench).

I fixed some broken links in the CoC, but I think we probably want to change that file anyway (#146).

I've opened some issues for other small things.

Fixes #133. Fixes #138.

PS -- I've taken the liberty of updating the branch protection rule to include the new status checks.

What does this mean?

If you have source files that require output and figures to be generated (e.g. R Markdown), then it is important to make sure the generated figures and output are reproducible.

This output provides a way for you to inspect the output in a diff-friendly manner so that it's easy to see the changes that occur due to new software versions or randomisation.
