news: reformat as proper markdown

Browse source 
We use 8ch indents right now, which causes everything to be interpreted
as `<pre>` (or whatever your favourite equivalent is). Lets use proper
markdown.

While at it, this fixes a set of minor issues:

  * Surround markdown syntax with `` to suppress interpretation (like in
    the regexp, etc).

  * Replace hyphens before dates with proper em-dash.

  * Fix indentation in some news-entries, which did not align correctly.

This will also synchronize the file with osbuild/NEWS.md, which soothes
my heart.
