couple of Guidebook bits: autopickup, tile_file

The change in the long-standing default for 'autopickup' warrants
mention in the Guidebook.  Also, the X11 interface can switch to
alternate tiles but doesn't use the 'tile_file' option to do so.

In Guidebook.mn, the list of options pads ones shorter than 8
characters with trailing spaces, necessitating quotes.  A few longer
ones had such quotes and even trailing spaces.  Take those away.
