Connect some dots (fixes #248)

Clarify three things:

1. You can use pagetree files with `raco pollen render`
2. `--target` doesn’t prevent other file types from being rendered
3. The generated pagetree includes more than just source files

The optional @exec{--target} or @exec{-t} switch specifies the render target for multi-output source files. If the target is omitted, the renderer will use whatever target appears first in @racket[(setup:poly-targets)].
If a pagetree file is included in @racket[_source], all the files it lists will be rendered using the above rules.
The optional @exec{--target} or @exec{-t} switch specifies the render target to use for multi-output source files. (Files of other types encountered in @racket[_source] will still be rendered as usual.) If the target is omitted, the renderer will use whatever target appears first in @racket[(setup:poly-targets)].

@italic{Warning}: In all cases, the newly rendered output file will overwrite any previous output file.
@bold{Directory mode}: @racket[raco pollen render _directory] renders all preprocessor source files and then all pagetree files found in the specified directory. If none of these files are found, a pagetree will be generated for the directory (which will include all source files) and then rendered. If the @racket[_directory] argument is omitted, the command defaults to the current directory.
@bold{Directory mode}: @racket[raco pollen render _directory] renders all preprocessor source files and then all pagetree files found in the specified directory. If none of these files are found, a pagetree will be generated for the directory (which will include all source files, but also everything else that exists there; see @secref["The_automatic_pagetree"]) and then rendered. If the @racket[_directory] argument is omitted, the command defaults to the current directory.
In directory mode, this command can be invoked with two other optional arguments (in addition to the @exec{--target}, @exec{--parallel}, and @exec{--jobs} switches mentioned above):
