Changed the title of the manual to not track the version number, as it is still in flux and doesn't add much to the discussion. Added a way to cite the manual when referring to Ceres in a publication

There is no debate that it was Carl Friedrich Gauss's prediction of the orbit of the newly discovered asteroid Ceres based on just 41 days of observations that brought it to the attention of the world~\cite{tennenbaum-director}. We named our solver after Ceres to celebrate this seminal event in the history of astronomy, statistics and optimization. -\section{Contributing to Ceres} +\section{Contributing to Ceres Solver} We welcome contributions to Ceres, whether they are new features, bug fixes or tests.
