docs/devel: Format literals correctly
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). Fix various places in the devel section of the manual which were using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text) were intended.
