The 'uart=' parameter for the hypervisor takes multiple forms. One
is to specify the BDF (Bus, Device, Function) value of the serial
port PCI device. The description in the documentation used the
previous format (e.g. '0:18.1') but a 16-bit WORD in HEX needs
to be passed nowadays. E.g.: '0:18.1' is specified by 'uart=0xc1'

Add the 'mmio@' parameter to the document describing all the possible
values for 'uart='. This is the command-line argument passed to the
hypervisor in order to overwrite and/or set the serial port.

While we hoped to make the headings consistent over time while doing
other edits, we should instead just make the squirrels happy and do them
all at once or they'll likely never be made consistent.
A python script was used to find the headings, and then a call to
https://pypi.org/project/titlecase to transform the title. A visual
inspection was used to tweak a few unexpected resulting titles.

Did a partial run of ACRN documents through Acrolinx to catch additional
spelling and grammar fixes missed during regular reviews.
