Subject: [PATCH 16/30] lzo.txt: standardize document format

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- Add markups for section titles;
- mark literal blocks;
- use ".. important::" for an important note.

   The stream is composed of a series of instructions, operands, and data. The
   instructions consist in a few bits representing an opcode, and bits forming
