Revert "Documentation: Our coding style now allows 80 + 2*8 columns in a line"
This reverts commit b3a8cc54dbaf833c590a56f912209a5632b71f49.
This change was submitted under the incorrect assumption that there was
agreement on a coding style change. There wasn't, so while the issue is
under discussion we should revert to the previous status quo.
