Document description

This specification fully documents the music format used by Super Mario Bros. 3 in sufficient detail to create new music and insert it into the game, or to extract and convert music from the game to other formats.

v1.1:
- As it turns out, the way SMB3 mixes 0-based and 1-based indexing is so confusing I got confused writing the spec. This revision fixes that error and attempts to clarify the subject so as to prevent any further mishaps.
- Add table of noise preset characteristics
- Unhid the unused track that was previously hidden because it's junk
- Various other small changes meant to increase clarity
