Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 76a8788c14 doc: keep first level section header in upper case
When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper
case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers
uppercase to keep it close to the final output.

This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.

Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has
suggestions about this.

While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples
vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

===========
NAME
----
git-show - Show various types of objects
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git show' [options] [<object>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits).
For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by
'git diff-tree --cc'.
For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to 'git ls-tree'
with --name-only).
For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
The command takes options applicable to the 'git diff-tree' command to
control how the changes the commit introduces are shown.
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
OPTIONS
-------
<object>...::
The names of objects to show (defaults to 'HEAD').
For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
