Fix link to "Entropy (information theory)" Wikipedia entry

Make "Entropy and information theory" inline link compatible with older markdown implementations.

fixes uccser#2565

Newer Markdown implementations (e.g. GitHub's as of this writing) properly render an inline link[0] whose link destination[1] includes parenthesis. Older ones fail, and, as a result, what should be rendered as:

href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)"

is instead rendered as:

href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory"

(closing parenthesis elided/wrong URL)

Wrapping the link destination within angle brackets solves that issue in a way that should be forward-compatible.
