Tamas Mate eadd35f6d5 IMPALA-11853: Fix formatted docs query options CSS
The recent documentation formatting changes introduced the navigation
panel on the left. However, due to the length of the query options
navigation title these could overlap with the documentation paragraphs.

This commit removes the underscores from the navigation titles of the
query options, so browsers can break them into multiple lines.
Additionally, the "SET" and "Query Options for the SET Statement" pages
are merged to save some more space for the query option navigation
titles.

Testing:
 - Built the documentation and tested manually

Specifies the minimum size for a memory buffer used when the
spill-to-disk mechanism is activated, for example for queries against
a large table with no statistics, or large join operations.

<p>
This query option sets a lower bound on the size of the internal
buffer size that can be used during spill-to-disk operations. The
actual size of the buffer is chosen by the query planner.
</p>
<p>
If overall query performance is limited by the time needed for spilling,
consider increasing the <codeph>MIN_SPILLABLE_BUFFER_SIZE</codeph> setting.
Larger buffer sizes result in Impala issuing larger I/O requests to storage
devices, which might result in higher throughput, particularly on rotational
disks.
</p>
<p>
The tradeoff with a large value for this setting is increased memory usage during
spill-to-disk operations. Reducing this value may reduce memory consumption.
</p>
<p>
To determine if the value for this setting is having an effect by capping the
spillable buffer size, you can see the buffer size chosen by the query planner for
a particular query. <codeph>EXPLAIN</codeph> the query while the setting
<codeph>EXPLAIN_LEVEL=2</codeph> is in effect.
