docs: Use correct list format

Browse Source 
Using "*" to prefix list items leads to undesirable display output for
at least the generation of the html documentation. Use the @itemize and
@item directives to get itemized list output.

Also fix some wording and punctuation issues.

MBR gap has few technical problems. There is no way to reserve space in
the embedding area with complete safety, and some proprietary software is
known to use it to make it difficult for users to work around licensing
restrictions. GRUB works it around by detecting sectors by other software and
restrictions. GRUB works around it by detecting sectors by other software and
avoiding them and protecting its own sectors using Reed-Solomon encoding.

Should it not be possible, GRUB has support for a fallback solution which is
heavily recommended against. Installing to a filesystem means that GRUB is
vulnerable to its blocks being moved around by filesystem features such as
tail packing, or even by aggressive fsck implementations, so this approach
