Joe Vilches 1db7a3ff61 Clean up certain style choices on website's example documentation (#1616)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/1616

This is based on a few comments earlier in the stack and my own discretion on what should change. But I went through all of the examples and changed the following:

* Only add code tick marks in a few cases where it would make sense. Things like `start` and `end`, `undefined` as a value, etc. There ends up not being that many after this. Previously, any property or value was tick marked even if it was more of a concept than actual code. **I replaced those cases with a link to their respective documentation as I feel like this keeps the indication that this is a keyword without labeling it as code**.
* Any reference to "element" was changed to "node"
* Capitalize words that follow a colon
* Run code examples through prettier for consistent style

# Layout Direction
Layout direction specifies the direction in which children and text
in a hierarchy should be laid out. Layout direction also effects what
edge `start` and `end` refer to. By default Yoga lays out with left-to-right (LTR)
layout direction. In this mode `start` refers to `left` and `end`
refers to `right`. When localizing your apps for markets with right-to-left (RTL) languages
you should customize this by either by passing a direction
to the [CalculateLayout](/docs/getting-started/laying-out-a-tree) call or by setting the direction on the root node.
**LTR (default)**: Text and children and laid out from left to right. Styles applied
the start of an element are applied on the left side.
**RTL**: Text and children and laid out from right to left. Styles applied the
start of an element are applied on the right side.
