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.
