367065be4b doc: make comment indentation consistent
Currently, some of the docs use different indentation for comments
in the code examples. This commit makes the indentation consistent
by putting the comments at the beginning of the line (really no
indentation that is).

doc: do not link in the headings
If there is a link in the headings, when the ToC is generated, that is
not properly linked and the square brackets are left as they are.

Even if we fix this, different parts of the heading will link to
different sections or even different pages. For example,

    ### What makes [`Buffer.allocUnsafe()`] and
          [`Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow()`] "unsafe"?

will point to three different sections. `allocUnsafe` and
`allocUnsafeSlow` will link to their corresponding sections and all
other words actually link to the heading in the document. This could be
visually confusing.

doc: more realistic custom inspect example
Changes the custom inspect example to a more complex object that
actually uses the parameters of the custom inspect function. I
specifically chose a wrapper of a value called a "Box" that inspects
to "Box < inner_inspect_value >".

I also want there to be documentation explaining what the code is
actually doing. E.g., the padding replacement part is to make the
inspected value line up properly when multi-line inputs are given.

I also went with having a space between the Box's brackets and the inner
value because it matches how objects work, and that should definitely be
listed as a convention somewhere in here.

Also, the convention to shorten only when depth is less than 0, not e.g.
at 0.

But I don't know how to write the documentation for that, so I'm leaving
that to somebody who reads this message.
