[PATCH 09/31] cpu-load: 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:

- mark literals;
- Adjust document title;
- Use a list for references.
