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 with ReST notation;
- comment the contents table;
- Use :Author: tag for authorship;
- mark literal blocks as such;
- use valid numbered list markups;
- Don't capitalize titles.

While the {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() macros should be used in preference to
ACCESS_ONCE(), the circular buffer documentation uses the latter
exclusively.
To point people in the right direction, and as a step towards the
eventual removal of ACCESS_ONCE(), update the documentation to use
READ_ONCE(), as ACCESS_ONCE() is only used in a reader context in the
circular buffer documentation.

The code sample in Documentation/circular-buffers.txt appears to have a
few ordering bugs. This patch therefore applies the needed fixes.
