To support choosing a projection especially for new users it would be helpful to add some explanatory text to the projection gallery plots about a particular projection. This has been started in #318.

The GMT cookbook can be used as reference since it already contains some information about the different projections GMT supports. While the descriptions are already complete and could be adopted as is, if someone has background knowledge and can clarify/simplify/improve some of the explanations it would be great.
