doc: standardize on sentence case for headers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Previously, our documentation headers were a mixture of title case,
sentence case, and things that were neither. For technical
documentation, the _de facto_ standard seems to be sentence case. (See
refs below.) So let's standardize on that. This commit follows a
commit implementing this standard. This commit adds it to the style
guide.
