isa.txt: standardize document format
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: - Use the main title standard for this document; - replace _foo_ by **foo** for emphasis; - mark literal blocks as such.
