c-user: Use rubric for configuration options
Clear the page for each configuration options similar to the directives. Use a rubric instead of a definition list for the application configuration options similar to the directive documentation pages. For direcives and application configuration options use the same rubric order. Generalize value constraints to constraints. This patch does not change hand written content.

- The configuration options :ref:`CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_QUEUES` and

- queues can be created by the application. The memory for the message
- buffers is configured by this option. For each message queue you have to
- reserve some memory for the message buffers. The size depends on the
- maximum number of pending messages and the maximum size of the messages of
- a message queue. Use the ``CONFIGURE_MESSAGE_BUFFERS_FOR_QUEUE()`` macro
- to specify the message buffer memory for each message queue and sum them up
- to define the value for ``CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_QUEUES``.

-
- .. code-block:: c
-
- CONFIGURE_MESSAGE_BUFFERS_FOR_QUEUE( max_messages, max_msg_size )
-
- Where ``max_messages`` is the maximum number of pending messages and
- ``max_msg_size`` is the maximum size in bytes of the messages of the
