Joachim Wiberg 5a339e46cb doc: clarify sections and use "home styled" admonitions
Files in doc/cli/*.md are used in and displayed as help text in the CLI
admin-exec level.  So we cannot use standard admonitions (yet) since the
terminal markdown converter (lowdown) doesn't support the syntax.

The question mark `?` key along with the `Tab` key are your best friends
in the command line interface. They provide context help and completion
of commands you input. See the table below for a handful of examples.

| `help` | Overview of topics/settings in the current context |
| `?` | Lists commands + brief help in the current context |
| `<Tab>` | Lists commands available in the current context |
| `partial<Tab>` | Completes a partial command name |
| `command <Tab>` | Lists keywords/arguments associated with a command |
| `command keyword ?` | Lists arguments associated with a keyword + help |
