Series docs: cgroup-v1: formatting improv for "Memory Resource Controller" doc | expand

Admonition constructs on the documentation use definition lists, which
isn't fit for the purpose. Replace them with appropriate blocks:

  * Use caution:: for outdated document notice
  * hint:: for memo
  * note:: for other constructs
  * warning:: for memory reclaim
