doc: convert the documentation to the block format
The syntax overview no longer describes a line-based format, since that is not what the rest of the documentation shows. It now covers the grammar, the two naming conventions, the nine aliases, and the leading '-' on a path, and it says plainly that both formats are still read and told apart per file by content. Without that, a reader with an existing configuration is left wondering what happened to it. service-opts.md was a list of modifiers to place between a directive and its command, so it needed rewriting rather than translating: there are no positions left to describe. It is now grouped by what the settings do. conditions.md needed correcting. It presented '!' as a condition prefix alongside '~'. It is neither a condition nor a negation, it is a flag on the block that means one thing on a service and another on a run or task, so it is spelled reload-signal and required here, and the page maps the old form to both. Two things the pages claimed are not true. The kill delay range is 1-300, not 1-60, and stop and reload scripts are no longer run without a timeout. ChangeLog.md keeps its line-based examples. Those sit in historical release entries, and rewriting them in a syntax that did not exist at the time would misdate the format. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
