Abstract added to final PDF along with better explanation

An abstract is also something most research reports will need, so a simple
macro was defined to make it easy (not too many code lines within the text
of the main body) to implement an abstract.

The title was also moved up a little to better use the extra white space at
the top of the page.

Finally, the `\highlightchanges' along with its explanation (both as
comments and within the text with examples) was added in `paper.tex' to
demonstrate how useful the `\new' and `\tonote' macros are.
