documentation: fix rendering and internal references
This is mainly cleanup after switching from Github-flavoured Markdown rendered by Github Pages, to standard Markdown rendered by MkDocs. Changed: - rephrase some section titles Fixed: - list rendering (items, sub-items)) - code rendering - quotes - dead links Removed: - extraneous navigational elements Signed-off-by: VirtualTam <virtualtam@flibidi.net>
