admin: Reword, format consistency
This changes terminal command blocks to always use the multiline formatting, as the leading octothorpe looks very strange when displaying a command inline. Two consecutive inline commands at the start was very difficult to read in the generated html. See: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/installation-binary/ `HTTP_PORT` has been highlighted as a code term. This also means we don't need to worry about another underscore in the same line being added and interpreted as syntax. Simplifies and fixes sentence structure in a few places. I've seen arguments for and against the use of "just" in technical writing, but I think here it's better without? Reworded some paragraphs so that the command comes at the end.
