Documentation/CodingStyle: improve text layout

Try to make coding style documentation look a bit more readable and
consistent with the following:

 - indent every code example in C to first tab-stop;
 - surround every code example with empty lines, both top and bottom;
 - remove empty lines where text looked way too spare;
 - do not indent examples in elisp and kconfig;
 - do not do any non-whitespace changes.

 Macros with multiple statements should be enclosed in a do - while block:

 function; don't break the internal parsers of those who will read the code.
 
 2) macros that depend on having a local variable with a magic name:
