More improvements of the Emacs manual

* doc/emacs/rmail.texi (Rmail Reply, Rmail Sorting): Improve
wording.  Suggested by Daniel Chakraborty
<danielmchakraborty@gmail.com>.

Improve and clarify wording.  Suggested by Gijs Hillenius
<gijs@hillenius.net> in emacs-manual-bugs@gnu.org.

* doc/emacs/text.texi (Org Authoring): Add more supported formats
to the list.
(TeX Print): Improve wording.  Slightly rearrange stuff.
(TeX Misc): Mention doctex-mode-hook.
(Two-Column): Minor rearrangement of text.  Suggested by Michael
Albinus <michael.albinus@gmx.de> in emacs-manual-bugs@gnu.org.

@item Complete Key
A complete key is a key sequence that fully specifies one action to be
performed by Emacs. For example, @kbd{X} and @kbd{C-f} and @kbd{C-x m}

(q.v.@:) to commands (q.v.). Thus, @kbd{X} is conventionally bound to

Emacs provides a @TeX{} major mode for each of these variants: Plain
