doc: Improve some markups and some wording around archiving modules

This commit adds or fixes markups used in a couple of places in the docs
(for <command>, <systemitem> and <literal>).  While on it, this
clarifies some of the documentation added recently for archiving modules
with archive_command, that would still be used as default choice if no
external module is defined (though an archive module could as well use
an archive_command).
