Convert Ac_ldiv_B etc. docs to Markdown

[dpsanders]

Convert the docs for the functions Ac_ldiv_B etc. to Markdown, eliminating the use of :sup: in helpdb.jl. #13047

This also homogenizes the signatures used in the docs for this set of functions.

Note that documentation for A_ldiv_B! is missing. I would add it, if I knew what this function does... (I guess it's A := A / B ?

[dpsanders]

Docs also missing for A_mul_Bc! etc.

The rendered html doesn't look too bad but this breaks make -C doc latexpdf again.

Is this because of the unicode superscripts?

[dpsanders]

Ouch. What can I do about that?

[yuyichao]

@jakebolewski Yes

@dpsanders Not sure. I think there's a commit/PR that fixes latexpdf recently but I'm having a hard time finding it.

[yuyichao]

Find it 8dfdeaf

Do something like that then?

[dpsanders]

Thanks @yuyichao -- now done. It's not exactly pretty in the PDF, but it's functional... (An alternative would be to use latex, $...$, instead of ..., in the docstrings, but that seems to be out of style.)

[yuyichao]

I was actually going to suggest using math mode instead of code quote since these are more mathematically expressions rather than julia code.

[jakebolewski]

It looks ok. If we transition to Markdown there is a good chance we will lose the fancy latex -> pdf output Sphinx offers anyway.

[dpsanders]

I was just about to put up the version with inline Latex. Shall I make a new PR?

[dpsanders]

(It does look better!)

[jakebolewski]

sure
