[docs] formatting and general pedantry

I'm not sure if the `distance-units` section is totally clear, when using the 'Geohash Cell Filter' and omitting a unit, the default is to interpret the integer as the 'length of the geohash prefix', not to default it to 'meter'. Maybe I'm being pedantic.

Closes #8744
