Improve formatting of test specification docs

The existing formatting created one-element lists separated by paragraphs, when it would make more sense to have the paragraphs that are providing more information about one of those list entries be part of the list entry itself.

I think this makes the documentation easier to read in both markdown and html form, and should also improve the structure for assistive technologies.

* Concatenate specs to apply all of them, e.g. `[some-tag][other-tag]`.
This allows test cases that are tagged with **both** "[some-tag]" **and**
"[other-tag]". A test case with just "[some-tag]" will not pass the filter,
nor will test case with just "[other-tag]".

Note that commas take precendence over simple concatenation. This means
that `[a][b],[c]` accepts tests that are tagged with either both "[a]" and
"[b]", or tests that are tagged with just "[c]".

* Negate the spec by prepending it with `~`, e.g. `~[some-tag]`.
This rejects any test case that is tagged with "[some-tag]". Note that
rejection takes precedence over other filters.

Note that negations always binds to the following _basic_ test spec.
This means that `~[foo][bar]` negates only the "[foo]" tag and not the
"[bar]" tag.

Note that when Catch2 is deciding whether to include a test, first it
checks whether the test matches any negative filters. If it does,
