Truncated text in tidb-stable-zh-manual.pdf

[qiancai]

Describe the bug
For all tables in https://download.pingcap.org/tidb-stable-zh-manual.pdf, the alignment is center and the columns are too narrow to show the full text. As a reader, I could not even see the full text to understand the document.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://download.pingcap.org/tidb-stable-zh-manual.pdf.
2. From the left TOC panel, click 部署标准集群 > 规划集群拓扑 > 混合部署拓扑.
3. Check the table under 拓扑信息.
   

Expected behavior

• The tables in tidb-stable-zh-manual.pdf should be left-aligned.
• The width of the table should fit the page.
• If a cell contains long text, the cell should wrap the text instead of truncating it.

Maybe switching to another image like https://hub.docker.com/r/pandoc/extra would be good.
