Jay Faulkner f6191f2969 Fix lint issues with documentation
The doc8 linter found several syntax problems in our docs; primarily a
large number of places we used single-backticks to surround something
when we should've used double-backticks.

This is frontrunning a change that will add these checks to CI.

API Audit Logging
=================
Audit middleware supports the delivery of CADF audit events via the Oslo messaging
notifier capability. Based on the ``notification_driver`` configuration, audit
event can be routed to messaging infrastructure (notification_driver =
messagingv2) or can be routed to a log file (
``[oslo_messaging_notifications]/driver = log``).
Audit middleware creates two events per REST API interaction. The first event has
information extracted from request data and the second one has request outcome
(response).
Enabling API Audit Logging
==========================
Audit middleware is available as part of ``keystonemiddleware`` (>= 1.6)
library. For information regarding how audit middleware functions refer
:keystonemiddleware-doc:`here <audit.html>`.
Auditing can be enabled for the Bare Metal service by making the following changes
to ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf``.
#. To enable audit logging of API requests::
[audit]
...
enabled=true
#. To customize auditing API requests, the audit middleware requires the audit_map_file setting
to be defined. Update the value of the configuration setting 'audit_map_file' to set its
location. Audit map file configuration options for the Bare Metal service are included
in the etc/ironic/ironic_api_audit_map.conf.sample file. To understand CADF format
specified in ironic_api_audit_map.conf file, refer to `CADF Format.
<http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP2038_1.0.0.pdf>`_::
[audit]
...
audit_map_file=/etc/ironic/api_audit_map.conf
#. Comma-separated list of Ironic REST API HTTP methods to be ignored during audit.
It is used only when API audit is enabled. For example::
[audit]
...
ignore_req_list=GET,POST
Sample Audit Event
==================
Following is the sample of the audit event for the ironic node list request.
