  somo: shorten the save-parameters tab titles and widen the window

Nine tabs of titles no longer fitted; adding the GRPY options screen is what
tipped it over. Measured: the titles wanted 1818 px of tab bar in a 640 px
window.

Multi-line titles were tried first and do not work. Qt keeps a tab's height
fixed regardless of newlines -- verified at one, two and three lines, all 36 px
-- so the extra lines are simply clipped. Newlines do narrow the bar (1818 ->
1255 px) because the width is measured from the longest line, but 1255 still
does not fit, and making the height follow would need a custom QTabBar
overriding tabSizeHint().

Shortening instead: "Additional" and the trailing colons carry no information
in a window already titled Select Parameters to be Saved. That gives 846 px,
which fits an 880 px window (640 -> 880) with room to spare. Robust across
styles and font sizes in a way that a width bump alone would not have been.

  Main hydro | SMI | ZENO | GRPY | GRPY options | vdW | Solvent | ASA |
  Fractal dim.

Manual updated so the documented names match the screen, including two things
the rename exposed: a paragraph still calling one screen by its old name, and
a doubled period where a name ending in "." met the end of a sentence.

Measurements were taken under Qt's offscreen platform, which may not use the
same style as a live macOS build, so the pixel figures are indicative; there is
~34 px of headroom at 880.
