* html/layout.css: Improve readability of DL elements
(dl): Don't decrease font size. Indent list slightly to set off from body text. (dt): Don't limit width. Don't display inline. Ensure small margin above each term. (dd): Don't limit width. Don't display inline. While DL lists might be expected to be, e.g. a glossary, where each DT element is just one term, these lists are commonly used for other purposes, in which DT elements may be a sentence or more; this is especially so for some ELPA packages' manuals which are exported to HTML from Org files. Cramming these terms into a narrow column next to their definition makes such lists hard to read. Instead, this change puts the terms and definitions on their own lines.
