Fossil SCM

Changed home page title from "Home" to "A Coherent Software Configuration Management System" since docs now show the title in the body area. "Home" in the title area was fine, but now it wants something more explanatory of the page's content. Moved the list of links on the right up a bit as a result. Switched the ASCII hyphens to em dashes in the list of Fossil attributes belo.
