docs: use :kbd: role in sphinx docs
Sphinx supports the :kbd: role for notating keyboard input. They get formatted as <kbd> HTML elements in the readthedocs theme we currently use for Sphinx. Besides the better visual formatting, it also helps with accessibility as screen readers can announce the semantics of the <kbd> element to the user.
