Reference my just-published article about aperiodic tilings.

In commit 8d6647548f7d005 I added the Hats grid type to Loopy, and
mentioned in the commit message that I was very pleased with the
algorithm I came up with.

In fact, I was so pleased with it that I've decided it deserves a
proper public writeup. So I've spent the Easter weekend producing one:

In this commit I adjust the header comments in both penrose.c and
hat.c to refer to the article (replacing a previous comment in
penrose.c to a much less polished page containing a copy of my
jotting-grade personal notes that I sent James Harvey once). Also,
added some code to hatgen.c to output Python hat descriptions in a
similar style to hat-test, which I used to generate a couple of the
more difficult diagrams in the new article, and didn't want to lose.
