conf_path() has formatting issue with numbered list [#1273032]

For the example list of path options generated by conf_path(), the line breaks are a bit out:

1. $confdir/8080.www.example.com.mysite.test 2. $confdir/www.example.com.mysite.test 3. $confdir/example.com.mysite.test 4. $confdir/com.mysite.test

5. $confdir/8080.www.example.com.mysite 6. $confdir/www.example.com.mysite 7. $confdir/example.com.mysite 8. $confdir/com.mysite

9. $confdir/8080.www.example.com 10. $confdir/www.example.com 11. $confdir/example.com 12. $confdir/com

13. $confdir/default

Instead of:

1. $confdir/8080.www.example.com.mysite.test
2. $confdir/www.example.com.mysite.test
3. $confdir/example.com.mysite.test
4. $confdir/com.mysite.test
5. $confdir/8080.www.example.com.mysite
6. $confdir/www.example.com.mysite
7. $confdir/example.com.mysite
8. $confdir/com.mysite
9. $confdir/8080.www.example.com
10. $confdir/www.example.com
11. $confdir/example.com
12. $confdir/com
13. $confdir/default

Title:	Bad formatting of conf_path() at http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--bootstrap.inc/function/conf_path	» conf_path() has formatting issue with numbered list
Version:	7.8	» 8.x-dev
Issue tags:		+Needs backport to D7

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--bootstrap.inc/function/conf_path

Just as a note, this is also an issue in default.settings.php:
#1262064: default.settings.php has formatting issue with numbered list
Changing title so it's more obvious these two issues are the same.

As I suggested there, I think the best fix is to make this a bullet list, which the API module supports and formats correctly, instead of using a numbered list, which isn't supported at this time. Getting changes into the API module is not usually speedy (mostly because no one works on them).
