Toned down a lot of the informal type speaking and weird notioning towards RC24, as well as revising other guides as follows:
- Created a WiiConnect24 guide, consolidated rtc.md into it
- Consolidated rssmii-remove.md into rssmii.md
- Mass change of "Continue to site navigation" to "Return to site index", no "we have many other tutorials that you might like" included
- Other changes that may not be listed
