nixos/manual: Use literalExample when feasible.
Should bring most of the examples into a better consistency regarding
syntactic representation in the manual.

Thanks to @devhell for reporting.

# This module declares the options to define a *display manager*, the
# program responsible for handling X logins (such as xdm, kdm, gdb, or
# SLiM). The display manager allows the user to select a *session
# type*. When the user logs in, the display manager starts the
# *session script* ("xsession" below) to launch the selected session
# type. The session type defines two things: the *desktop manager*
# (e.g., KDE, Gnome or a plain xterm), and optionally the *window
# manager* (e.g. kwin or twm).
