[Lostwages] [2/2] Remove tables,
use correct html elements for purpose, code cleanup

This fixes two files, about.template and acknowledgment.template. It
cleans up some of the code and makes it more valid. I also have removed
the unneeded tables at the bottom for navigation and used a CSSed div
instead. I also used a <dl> instead of the weird <ul>'s nested in <p>'s
that was in there.
While I am currently fixing some of the tabs and whitespace, I am
holding off on completely fixing that; I'm doing more important changes
first. This way, the real changes won't get lost in a flurry of
whitespace changes. If not deemed unnecessary by others, I will go
through later and fix the remainder of the formatting so that it is
easier to read.
