Document Markdown support.

This change adds some relatively thorough documentation for using markdown.
The bulk of this is a page called "Using Markdown" which gives a quick overview
of the basics of markdown syntax for the things most people will care about. I
haven't made this an exhaustive document, since the pages on daring fireball
and github serve that purpose. Instead, this should hopefully be a nice quick
reference for the basics of markdown syntax as interpreted by Review Board.

This is linked to from all the various places where markdown can be used.

While I was in here, I updated everything to capitalize "Markdown", including
in the MD review UI docs, and capitalized the terms in the glossary (which
looks much better to me).

  • Generated HTML docs and read through everything.
  • Checked cross-linking.

We're very inconsistent in the docs right now wrt "Markdown" vs" markdown." We should probably use the former, I'm guessing.

    The rest of the docs use two blank lines between sections (the exception being a sub-section right after a section header, where there's only one blank line).

    Same with ones below.

    This part kind of gets lost without an example. Can we show an example with the 4 space indentation for code blocks as well? Probably with text above it not indented, or it'll be hard to notice :)
