Swapped app registry and app config API docs.

Thanks David Larlet for the suggestion.

Also fixed some Sphinx warnings and improved ReST markup.

-Application registry
-====================
-
-.. data:: django.apps.apps
-
-    The application registry provides the following public API. Methods that
-    aren't listed below are considered private and may change without notice.
-
-.. method:: django.apps.apps.ready()
-
-    Returns ``True`` if the registry is fully populated.
-
-.. method:: django.apps.apps.get_app_configs(only_with_models_module=False)
-
-    Returns an iterable of :class:`~django.apps.AppConfig` instances.
-
-    If only applications containing a models module are of interest, this method
-    can be called with ``only_with_models_module=True``.
-
-.. method:: django.apps.apps.get_app_config(app_label, only_with_models_module=False)
-
-    Returns an :class:`~django.apps.AppConfig` for the application with the
-    given ``app_label``. Raises :exc:`~exceptions.LookupError` if no such
-    application exists.
-
-    If only applications containing a models module are of interest, this method
-    can be called with ``only_with_models_module=True``.
-
-.. method:: django.apps.apps.has_app(app_name)
-
-    Checks whether an application with the given name exists in the registry.
-    ``app_name`` is the full name of the app, e.g. 'django.contrib.admin'.
-
-    Unlike :meth:`~django.apps.apps.get_app_config`, this method can be called
-    safely at import time. If the registry is still being populated, it may
-    return ``False``, even though the app will become available later.
