iPad Multitasking Info Updated

The section of the iPad info page relating to multitasking has been updated due to the changes in iOS 11, and its subheading has been renamed to Seeing Pīnyīn Plus/3-line & Official English Material at the Same Time:

To provide a taste of what is involved, here are the screenshots used:
