[DOCS] Consistent headings, newlines, wraps (#1293)
I've been running into variations in style in the docs I've edited so far. I've been
including changes for consistency in with other commits but in many cases that makes one
part of one doc more consistent with the rest but less consistent with itself. It seems
like a bit of cleanup may be in order.

This change applies the following conventions:

- Section heading heirarchy:
  #. ``=`` with overline for document title, IOW first heading
  #. ``-``
  #. ``~``
  #. ``"``

- Two newlines before ``-`` sections for readability

- A newline between every section of any level and the first line of text

- Wrap paragraph lines at 88 characters to match Python's Black

I've only applied these changes to those ``*.rst`` files that aren't generated.

In the future, I might suggest another bulk change to match [the Sphinx conventions for
section
headings](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html#sections).

Development and Contributing
============================
Requirements
------------
- python >= 3.10
- ffmpeg/ffprobe 4.4.5 (test checksums rely on this version)
- make
Local Install
-------------
.. tab-set-code::
.. code-block:: shell
pip install -e .[test,lint,docs]
.. code-block:: zsh
pip install -e .\[test,lint,docs\]
Linter
------
All source code contributed must be formatted to our linter specification. Run the
following to auto-format and check for any issues with your code:
.. code-block:: shell
make lint
Adding Documentation
--------------------
Docs can be found in ``ytdl-sub/docs/source/``, and are built using the command:
.. code-block:: shell
:caption:
Viewable at http://localhost:63342/ytdl-sub/docs/build/html/index.html once built
make docs
Some of the documentation is built using doc-strings from the python source code. The
above command will rebuild those as well.
Testing
-------
Tests are written using pytest. Many of them evaluate checksums of output files to ensure no unintended
changes are introduced to the way ``ytdl-sub`` produces files. This checksum can be inaccurate for
end-to-end tests, but are reliable for integration tests.
If integration tests are failing, ensure...
- you're using the correct ffmpeg version
- you are developing on Linux or Mac (have not tested windows yet)
- your local ``ytdl-sub`` dependencies are up-to-date
IDE Setup
---------
PyCharm is our preferred IDE. The codebase is simple enough to where it's not required,
but is highly recommended.

Debugging
---------
Debug Logs
^^^^^^^^^^
Run with ``--log-level debug`` to show all debug logs when running ytdl-sub.
Reproducing a Failing Subscription
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Subscriptions will dump their entire *compiled* yaml at the beginning of exeuction when
using ``--log-level debug``. This can be copy-pasted into the file
``resources/file_fixtures/repro.yaml``.
Running the test ``e2e.test_debug_repro.TestReproduce.test_debug_log_repro`` will fully
reproduce that subscription in order to debug it.
