As a user, I can learn from the docs about meaning of each field and the format of advisory to be able to create one

---

Our current docs provide an example of API calls to upload an advisory but nowhere a user can see the appropriate format and meaning of each field.

API docs show only the highest level of advisory metadata and no pkglist or references.

Ideally, the whole advisory format should be visible in the API docs, and detailed descriptions of fields can be in the static docs.

Currently, there are only some hints in the code.
