rebase docs: fix incorrect format of the section Behavioral Differences

Browse Source 
The text body of section Behavioral Differences is typeset as code,
but should be regular text. Remove the indentation to achieve that.

While here, prettify the language:

- use "the x backend" instead of "x-based rebase";
- use present tense instead of future tense;

and use subsections instead of a list.

BEHAVIORAL DIFFERENCES
-----------------------
* empty commits:
There are some subtle differences how the backends behave.
am-based rebase will drop any "empty" commits, whether the
commit started empty (had no changes relative to its parent to
start with) or ended empty (all changes were already applied
upstream in other commits).
Empty commits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
merge-based rebase does the same.
The am backend drops any "empty" commits, regardless of whether the
commit started empty (had no changes relative to its parent to
start with) or ended empty (all changes were already applied
upstream in other commits).
interactive-based rebase will by default drop commits that
started empty and halt if it hits a commit that ended up empty.
The `--keep-empty` option exists for interactive rebases to allow
it to keep commits that started empty.
The merge backend does the same.
* directory rename detection:
The interactive backend drops commits by default that
started empty and halts if it hits a commit that ended up empty.
The `--keep-empty` option exists for the interactive backend to allow
it to keep commits that started empty.
merge-based and interactive-based rebases work fine with
directory rename detection. am-based rebases sometimes do not.
