add Guidebook description of rogue level

This is in response to the bug report we got however long ago
about the map display breaking when the [unfamiliar to player]
rogue level was reached.  It probably wouldn't have helped back
then since the subset of players who read the documentation is
about same subset as those who expect the Spanish Inquisition.

I wasn't sure whether appending "'s" to an italicized word
should be italicized itself and made it revert to the regular
font instead.  That should be changed if it's incorrect usage.
