[PATCH 17/31] DMA-ISA-LPC.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 proper markups for titles;
- use :Author: for authorship;
- identify the literal blocks.

 This document describes how to do DMA transfers using the old ISA DMA
 controller. Even though ISA is more or less dead today the LPC bus
 uses the same DMA system so it will be around for quite some time.
