Some docs improvements (#15845) 
* docs: clarify in "Keymap Overview" what LAYOUT is and isn't

It is not strictly necessary to use LAYOUT macros in keyboard.c, but it
is a convenient abstraction of hardware internals, allowing focus on the
physical keyboard layout.

From the C source point of view LAYOUT is macro with a parameter list,
which expands to a array of rows that each is an array with a keyboard
scancode for each column. A macro parameter list is not an array, and
even less a single array.

Perhaps no big deal, but also no reason to give incorrect hints.

* docs: update "Understanding QMK's Code" to current code structure introduced in 96e2b13d1d

This part of the documentation was no longer correct. I tried updating
it, mainly copy editing and using github links to latest release.

This is not trying to fix all problems, but just trying to fix some
problems while reusing much of the old phrases and structure.

* Update docs to use "qmk format-python"

Quantum Mechanical Keyboard Firmware

What is QMK Firmware?

QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard) is an open source community centered around developing computer input devices. The community encompasses all sorts of input devices, such as keyboards, mice, and MIDI devices. A core group of collaborators maintains QMK Firmware, QMK Configurator, QMK Toolbox, qmk.fm, and this documentation with the help of community members like you.

Get Started

?> Basic QMK Configurator
User friendly graphical interfaces, no programming knowledge required.

?> Advanced Use The Source
More powerful, but harder to use.

Make It Yours

QMK has lots of features to explore, and a good deal of reference documentation to dig through. Most features are taken advantage of by modifying your keymap, and changing the keycodes.

Need help?

Check out the support page to see how you can get help using QMK.

Give Back

There are a lot of ways you can contribute to the QMK Community. The easiest way to get started is to use it and spread the word to your friends.
