Markdown reviewed and edited with markdownlint for Visual Studio Code, to better align with Markdown best practices and make documents consistent

These changes should optimally have little to no impact on the user facing presentation of content. It should have the intended result of making our jobs easier and making the Markdown we have written more clean and consistent with widely accepted best practices.

Documentation and explanation for referenced fixes at https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/v0.40.0/README.md


A .markdownlint.json file is added to the root of the repository to specify markdown styling guidelines for the project.


< The following style guidelines are specified >

MD003 - ATX style (#) headings should be used.
MD004 - Unordered lists should be created with the asterisk symbol (*) for consistency.
MD007 - Unordered lists should be indented with 4 spaces, or one press of TAB in a code editor.
MD024 - The same name can only be used for headings with different parents.
MD029 - Ordered lists should be created using the number one (1.) for consistency.
MD033 - Allow <hr>, <br>, <ul>, and <li> as HTML elements inside of GitHub style tables. Additionally allow <br> as HTML elements for usage after headings ONLY as a workaround.
MD035 - Horizontal rules should be created using triple hyphens (---) for consistency.
MD046 - Code blocks should be created as fenced code blocks (like below) for consistency.
MD048 - Code blocks should be created with the backtick symbol (```) for consistency.
MD049 - Emphasis should be specified with the asterisk symbol (*) for consistency.
MD050 - Boldness should be specified with the asterisk symbol (**) for consistency.
MD055 - Tables should be created with leading and trailing pipes for consistency.
MD060 - GitHub style tables are constructed in an aligned style whenever possible.

< The following style guidelines are ignored >

MD013 - Line length (line length regularly surpasses 80 characters)
MD040 - Specifying a language for code blocks (code blocks are used for stylization)
MD045 - Providing alt text for images (need to determine impact)
