Name it Gyre - Sand Art Table

README, build guide, software README, web page header and title, jog page,
desktop alerts and the start-up message now say Gyre. The repo, the Python
package and its commands keep their names (sandTable, python3 -m sandtable),
so links and setups keep working. New web page screenshot.
