1b49ecf2f3 docs: Clean up bare :: lines
Mauro's patch set introduced some bare :: lines; these can be represented
by a double colon at the end of the preceding text line.  The result looks
a little less weird and is less verbose.

609d99a3b7 Documentation/HOWTO: add cross-references to other documents
Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and
are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation.

It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file.
We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on
Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo
directory.
