Move 'Playback Settings' up from 'General Settings' to 'Settings' (FS#9472 by William Poetra Yoga Hadisoeseno but without the menu rearrangement) also closes FS#9154. Update manual to reflect the menu change, Playback Settings is now its own chapter. As a bonus that makes it a bit easier to find stuff in the toc.
