Use blockquotes instead of code blocks for stability markers in

- Makes the makers appear correctly when viewed e.g. on github.
- Allows remark-lint rules like `no-undefined-references` to work

OS X has a tiny 1kb hard-coded buffer size for stdout / stderr to
TTYs (terminals). Output larger than that causes chunking, which ends
up having some (very small but existent) delay past the first chunk.
That causes two problems:
1. When output is written to stdout and stderr at similar times, the
two can become mixed together (interleaved). This is especially
problematic when using control characters, such as \r. With
interleaving, chunked output will often have lines or characters erased
unintentionally, or in the wrong spots, leading to broken output.
CLI apps often extensively use such characters for things such as
progress bars.
2. Output can be lost if the process is exited before chunked writes
are finished flushing. This usually happens in applications that use
`process.exit()`, which isn't infrequent.
See https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6980 for more info.
This became an issue as result of the Libuv 1.9.0 upgrade. A fix to
an unrelated issue broke a hack previously required for the OS X
implementation. This resulted in an unexpected behavior change in node.
The 1.9.0 upgrade was done in c3cec1eefc,
which was included in v6.0.0.
Full details of the Libuv issue that induced this are at

`Console` constructor checks that `stdout.write()` is a function but
does not do an equivalent check for `stderr.write()`. If `stderr` is not
specified in the constructor, then `stderr` is set to be `stdout`.
However, if `stderr` is specified, but `stderr.write()` is not a
function, then an exception is not thrown until `console.error()` is
called.
This change adds the same check for 'stderr' in the constructor that is
there for `stdout`. If `stderr` fails the check, then a `TypeError` is
thrown.
Took the opportunity to copyedit the `console` doc a little too.

changes for typos and highlight breaking markdown have been made.
JSON-Style objects have been changed so their closing bracket is

Known issues:
* Not every JSON / object notation has been improved. Should
make another run for this.
* Some example functions break hightlighting due to various
combinations of brackets. However changing them means leaving

Previously, console.time() did not mention that it needed to be paired

to mention that console.time() needed to be called first.
References in both directions have been added.
