Switch book render to Quarto #132

Closes #129

Quarto is looking really really nice and from a book dev standpoint would make some things easier for us.

One thing that might affect a lot of text is I set the visual mode for RStudio as the default thing to open up as and to use the "canonical" mode for that, meaning that we can work on the Markdown or the Visual mode and the text should be the same. This means it reformats all the markdown of the file you are working on to a standard format (e.g. hyperlinks all are expanded (not the [name][short-form] anymore), as well as reformats lines to only be 72 characters long). This has several advantages in that we can all have a similarly formatted markdown to look at and work on, but does mean that the first few commits after this one will be reformats from RStudio Visual mode. Some things will be need to be checked too to confirm it works properly.
