doc: make the RST files consistently formated and other improvements.
The biggest things here are: * move doc/sources/*/README.rst to doc/rtd/topics/datasources This gives each datasource a page in the rtd docs, which make it easier to read. * consistently use the same header style throughout. As suggested at http://thomas-cokelaer.info/tutorials/sphinx/rest_syntax.html use: # with overline, for parts * with overline, for chapters =, for sections -, for subsections ^, for subsubsections “, for paragraphs Also, move and re-format vendor-data documentation to rtd.
