Improve formats of the Compute API guide

Replace the 'NOTE' and 'TODO' words with
the note and todo directives in the Compute API guide.

Improve some format in the guide.
e.g. Fix unnecessary bold characters.

support. In this way, the user client can work with clouds that have deployed
different microversions simultaneously.
