GNUmakefile: simplify recursive logic and eliminate a "pdflatex" call.
In the recursive $(MAKE), the sub-$(MAKE) can succeed and then
subsequently delete its "previous" file. When that returns control to
the parent $(MAKE), the parent will try to diff the (now missing)
"previous" file against the latest one, which of course fails. This
leads to an extra build of the same, current, not-gonna-change PDF.
A slight change in the logic both simplifies things and eliminates
that extra rebuild. Thanks to Wojtek Kosior who pointed out the bug in
an email.

Add \unit{} for the multiplicative identity element.
Technically we could pass off \identity{X} as the multiplicative
identity element in an algebraic structure, by using the "arrow"
interpretation in the right category. But let's not try to shoot
ourselves in the foot too hard, yeah?
mjo-common: prevent \Sn[1] and \Hn[1] from dropping their superscripts.
This was a TODO item for a while; a standalone "S" or "H" doesn't have
the same meaning as, say, a standalone \mathbb{R} does. The "n"
doesn't indicate the arity of a Cartesian product, so for example S^2
isn't two copies of S^1. Dropping the superscript was therefore
misleading (and nonstandard notation).

mjo-proof_by_cases.tex: indent the cases and use italics for "Case N".
This is an aesthetic choice that will probably change every time I
write a paper that uses this environment. In my current endeavor, I
think having the cases indented is necessary to separate them from the
rest of the document (to show that they're still part of the current
theorem/proof). Moreover the use of italics keeps the reader from
lumping the "Case N" in with the stream of bold Definitions,
Propositions, Theorems, and Examples surrounding them.
I've checked that this change isn't fatal to either my thesis
(double-spaced) or my polyhedral positive operators paper.

Put \ifx guards on most other package includes, too.
We shouldn't be trying to load "amsopn" ten times, for example. But
testing whether or not a package is loaded is tricky. First, I tried
the \@ifpackageloaded macro: that causes problems with some of my
existing documents, and the "spacefactor" error that results is
apparently a FAQ. But I don't know what to do about it.
The other way to test if a package is loaded is by checking for some
(unique?) macro that it defines. That's what I've guessed at here. It
works in most cases, like when we want \operatorname from "amsopn."
But, some packages also didn't have something obvious to check for, so
coverage isn't 100%.

Replace all uses of \providecommand with \newcommand.
We generally want to know if some of our macros aren't being used. But
before introducing the \ifx guards on file includes, we were forced to
use \providecommand in e.g. mjo-common.tex, since it gets included
more than once. Now that we have the guards, change all
\providecommands to \newcommands.

Wrap all mjotex files in conditionals to prevent double-loading.
I plan to start putting glossary entries in mjo-common, and that
reveals a problem: some files (i.e. mjo-common.tex) get loaded more
than once. And there's not always a way to ignore the duplicate
definitions. So, finally, after avoiding it for as long as possible,
I've wrapped everything in "ifx" tests that check the value of a
macro I define (just like #ifdef HAVE_FOO in C).
The \ifx test was chosen over of \ifdefined (which is an e-TeX
primitive) because it makes the conditional simpler; we don't need to
have an empty "if" block. Of course, testing against \undefined only
works if \undefined is... undefined. But theoretically someone could
probably redefine \ifdefined, too. Whatever. I can change it if it
ever causes a problem.

Fix the bibliography DOI output when the hyperref package is not loaded.
The last attempt at adding hyperref support for DOIs worked, but it
broke things when the hyperref package isn't loaded. This commit fixes
it by conditionally defining a no-op \href in the absense of the
hyperref package.
Now that I understand what's going on a little bit better, I was also
able to eliminate some of the urlbst boilerplate.
