Update guidance for code blocks in docs

Marcel Amirault requested to merge docs-code-block-rules into master

What does this MR do?

Adds a table to show the standards for code block languages, to make sure everyone uses the same tags.

I also standardized the language tags for a few examples (bash to shell, etc). While changing the language tags, I noticed that the spacing was broken for a few of them, so I fixed the spacing at the same time.

Author's checklist

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
