docs: alphabetize entries in kernel-parameters.txt

Browse Source 
Move entries to be in alpha order as specified near the beginning
of this file.

Clean up some whitespace and line-length miscues.

Add '=' to "selinux" option syntax.

acpi_sleep= [HW,ACPI] Sleep options
Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_nohwsig,
old_ordering, s4_nonvs }
See Documentation/power/video.txt for information on
s3_bios and s3_mode.
s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
used during resume from hibernation.
old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
control method, with respect to putting devices into
low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
of _PTS is used by default).
s4_nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
ACPI NVS memory during hibernation.
