Subject: [PATCH 3/8] Documentation: kvx: Fix lists

Many "unexpected indentation" and block quote warnings are generated due
to errors in lists. Fix them up by:

  * Align lists texts just after the lists marker
  * Add required blank line between nested lists and between paragraphs
    and the lists
  * Use appropriate syntax for numbered lists

While at it, also lightly reword.
