1. Fix confusing wording that might imply unnecessary double-hashing.
2. Add references to specifics of base-32 encoding.
3. Fix incorrect description that sha256 hash of `fingerprint` is
truncated. "Truncated" is actual wording used in Nix theses, but it has
unusual meaning, that is better conveyed by word "compressed", which is
used by the reference C++ implementation.
4. Clarify details of base16 encoding.
