Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 76a8788c14 doc: keep first level section header in upper case
When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper
case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers
uppercase to keep it close to the final output.

This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.

Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has
suggestions about this.

While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples
vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

==========
NAME
----
git-var - Show a Git logical variable
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git var' ( -l | <variable> )
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Prints a Git logical variable.
OPTIONS
-------
-l::
Cause the logical variables to be listed. In addition, all the
variables of the Git configuration file .git/config are listed
as well. (However, the configuration variables listing functionality
is deprecated in favor of `git config -l`.)
EXAMPLES
--------
$ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@lnxi.com> 1121223278 -0600
VARIABLES
---------
GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT::
The author of a piece of code.
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT::
The person who put a piece of code into Git.
GIT_EDITOR::
Text editor for use by Git commands. The value is meant to be
interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples: `~/bin/vi`,
`$SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE`, `"C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
--nofork`. The order of preference is the `$GIT_EDITOR`
environment variable, then `core.editor` configuration, then
`$VISUAL`, then `$EDITOR`, and then the default chosen at compile
time, which is usually 'vi'.
ifdef::git-default-editor[]
The build you are using chose '{git-default-editor}' as the default.
endif::git-default-editor[]
GIT_PAGER::
Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less'). The value
is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference
is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
compile time (usually 'less').
ifdef::git-default-pager[]
The build you are using chose '{git-default-pager}' as the default.
endif::git-default-pager[]
