Add about large print #26

This is one that effects me. If there is a document I will have to read often. (e.g. a timetable) Then my life is much enhanced if it is 2x the normal size. And it is pretty easy, have been doing it a while and maybe 3% of people ask for one. Especially older people.

This change perhaps should be in the 11_inclusive_practices_during_checkin.md document, since it is mostly documents given out at check in that are worth having in large print. However, most of the other disability stuff is in venue including other things like having things announced over microphone. So i put it there. Reorganisation of the document is worth thinking about.
