While studying the `gitprotocol-pack` documentation, I found various
small style inconsistencies.

These patches are just tiny, simple improvements, mostly to improve the
clarity of the documentation.

V2 DIFF:
 * Fixed final patch to properly conform command and process names to
   italic format, instead of the inline code format

LorenzoPegorari (3):
  doc: gitprotocol-pack: fix pronoun-antecedent agreement
  doc: gitprotocol-pack: improve paragraphs structure
  doc: gitprotocol-pack: normalize italic formatting
