[PATCH] Fix formatting for urls section of fetch, pull, and push manpages

The line:
[remote "<remote>"]

was getting swallowed up by asciidoc, causing a critical line in the explanation for how to store the .git/remotes information in .git/config to go missing from the git-fetch, git-pull, and git-push manpages.

Put all of the examples into delimited blocks to fix this problem and to make them look nicer.
