Update 2012/deckmyn - try.sh, bugs.md, formatting

Browse Source 
The try.sh script is as usual.

The bugs.md has some features, not bugs.

The README.md file has been format/typo checked.

The deckmyn.md file has been format/typo checked.

A caveat with this entry is I was not able to verify as much when it
comes to checking things as I do not have a musical background (despite
the fact my family is full of musicians).

### STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix
### Source code: [2012/deckmyn/deckmyn.c](2012/deckmyn/deckmyn.c)
### Information: [2012/deckmyn/README.md](2012/deckmyn/README.md)
The author stated:
```
The memory locations of `argv` are used for various purposes. Therefore, the
program name (default `deckmyn`) must be *at least 4 characters long*, including
possibly the path. This, along with the ending `'\0'`, gives a minimum 5 bytes of
useful memory space. Otherwise, the program may attempt to write outside the
string.
The code is quite sensitive. Errors in the input can lead to strange results.
The code does not read beyond the end of the music input, but that is about the
only error checking available. Any input that is not according to the rules in
the deckmyn.md, may cause errors.
The program has no special hardware limitations or requirements, other than 8bit
`char` (`signed` or `unsigned`) and two's complement negatives.
The limitations of using `char` as counters for e.g. the number of music staves
are minor. 127 staves to a page is rather a lot.
The file layout must be exactly the same as deckmyn.c though, only the locations
of space (`" "`) may differ.
Every element in the music is given by a string of *exactly* 3 characters. Any
violation of this will result in the rest of the music being interpreted in some
randomly wrong way. Notice that in a file, the newline is also a character!
Therefore, when preparing music in a file, care should be taken that the last
musical element of a line is only 2 characters!
