Docs: merge table rows that conflict resolutions left duplicated

While landing community PRs, a few rows in gaps.md, layout-parity.md and
file-format-parity.md ended up twice (an older and a newer version).
Each pair is now one row: the newer text, plus what only the older one
said (section note options #385; allowSpaceOfSameStyleInTable).
