Peter Maydell 6df743dc31 docs: Format literals correctly
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted
text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged
with a specific "role":
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text
(the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets
hyperlinked").

The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference",
intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders
into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics).

This commit fixes various places in the manual which were
using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text)
were intended, and covers those files where only one or two
instances of these errors were made.

Arm Server Base System Architecture Reference board (``sbsa-ref``)
==================================================================
While the ``virt`` board is a generic board platform that doesn't match
any real hardware the ``sbsa-ref`` board intends to look like real
hardware. The `Server Base System Architecture
<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0029/latest>`_ defines a
minimum base line of hardware support and importantly how the firmware
reports that to any operating system. It is a static system that
reports a very minimal DT to the firmware for non-discoverable
information about components affected by the qemu command line (i.e.
cpus and memory). As a result it must have a firmware specifically
built to expect a certain hardware layout (as you would in a real
machine).
It is intended to be a machine for developing firmware and testing
standards compliance with operating systems.
Supported devices
"""""""""""""""""
The sbsa-ref board supports:
- A configurable number of AArch64 CPUs
- GIC version 3
- System bus AHCI controller
- System bus EHCI controller
- CDROM and hard disc on AHCI bus
- E1000E ethernet card on PCIe bus
- VGA display adaptor on PCIe bus
- A generic SBSA watchdog device
