Problems with layout and tests for various Rosetta Code challenges

This issue is just to track the changes we’re making to the layout of the descriptions and how the tests are rendered. Many of these are minor changes like moving the challenge instructions to the instructions section, or removing <p> tags and/or the space between the function name and the first parenthesis in the seed. I’ll submit a PR over the next few days.
