Reference sections kept pointing at the line-based format they no longer
document. `sysv` and `task` sent the reader to Services for "<COND>",
the cgroups chapter opened by listing three legacy directives and then
explained further down that only two of them exist here, and the logging
chapter still gave "log:prio:facility.level,tag:ident" as the full
syntax.
Some claims were wrong independent of the format:
- a sysv is a supervised daemon, grouped with service in
SVC_TYPE_DAEMON, not a variation on task
- restart-max has no upper bound of 255, or any other
- the built-in rescue fallback runs in 12345789, not 12345
- conditional loading quotes system/10-hotplug.conf, not
system/hotplug.conf
- the key spells conflicts, not conflict
- the built-in getty no longer wants TERM last, it is a key
`if` takes either a service name or, in angle brackets, a condition,
decided in svc_ifthen(). Only the examples showed this, so it is now
said.
Terminology follows the split index.md already draws: a block is the new
format, a stanza the line-based one.
src/rescue.conf was still line-based, missed because it sits in src/
rather than system/ or contrib/.

The block conversion changed the bodies of the reference sections but
left every "**Syntax:**" header spelling the line-based format, so each
page opened by teaching the format it then stopped using. Six files
were missed entirely: runparts, files, capabilities, requirements,
runlevels, and switchroot.
runparts had no block spelling written down anywhere, though the parser
has read `runparts`, `runparts-progress`, and `runparts-sysv` all along.
tty gains a table per variant. Its three syntax lines carried nine
positional fields between them, which no longer describes anything the
parser accepts.

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.
