sync_file.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 markup for document title and authorship;
- Mark literal blocks;
- Use a numbered list for references.

When a driver needs to send an out-fence userspace it creates a sync_file.

The caller pass the out-fence and gets back the sync_file. That is just the
first step, next it needs to install an fd on sync_file->file. So it gets an
fd:
