parport-lowlevel.txt: standardize document format

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. This one uses a man-page like approach.

Change its representation to be closer to the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- Mark titles;
- Mark literals and literal blocks;
- Adjust identation.

Still, the best would be to move its contents to kernel-docs.

 DESCRIPTION
+^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 In order to be notified about parallel ports when they are detected,
 parport_register_driver should be called.  Your driver will
 immediately be notified of all ports that have already been detected,
 and of each new port as low-level drivers are loaded.

+A ``struct parport_driver`` contains the textual name of your driver,
 a pointer to a function to handle new ports, and a pointer to a
 function to handle ports going away due to a low-level driver
 unloading.  Ports will only be detached if they are not being used
 (i.e. there are no devices registered on them).

 This function is the opposite of parport_register_device.  After using

 You should not unregister a device that is currently claimed, although
 if you do it will be released automatically.

 DESCRIPTION
+^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 These functions attempt to gain control of the parallel port on which

 You should not try to claim a port that you have already claimed.
 
 RETURN VALUE
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 A return value of zero indicates that the port was successfully
 claimed, and the caller now has possession of the parallel port.

 Set the inactivity timeout, in jiffies, for a registered device.  The

 RETURN VALUE
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 The previous timeout, in jiffies.
 
 NOTES

 Some of the port->ops functions for a parport may take time, owing to
 delays at the peripheral.  After the peripheral has not responded for
-'inactivity' jiffies, a timeout will occur and the blocking function
