BML on proof theory, revised

Here is the third updated chapter of the 2022 Beginning Mathematical Logic Study Guide, this time on proof theory. There are brisk overviews of three key topics, only slightly revised, followed by improved reading suggestions.

As always, all comments, corrections, suggestions will of course be very welcome.

I am giving the LaTeX files, section by section, to ChatGPT, asking for corrections for typos, and then asking for any stylistic suggestions in keeping with the general tone and approach of the Guide. I have to report that, even compared with just six months ago, ChatGPT���s performance is impressively better on both counts. Life is too short to try marking its homework on typo-catching using other LLMs; but ChatGPT���s performance seems much improved. And its stylistic suggestions (catching clunky sentences, ugly repetitions, etc.) are now almost always improvements while in keeping with the intended relaxed style. Remarkable.
