Subject: [PATCH 08/29] rfkill.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:
- mark titles;
- comment contents index;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust identation.
