W. Trevor King f2462ca59e docs: Follow man-pages(7) suggestions for SYNOPSIS
man-pages(7) has [1]:

> For commands, this shows the syntax of the command and its arguments
> (including options); boldface is used for as-is text and italics are
> used to indicate replaceable arguments. Brackets ([]) surround
> optional arguments, vertical bars (|) separate choices, and ellipses
> (...) can be repeated.

I've adjusted our SYNOPSIS entries to match that formatting, and
generally tried to make them more consistent with the precedent set by
the man-pages project.  Outside of the SYNOPSIS entry, I prefer using
backticks for literals, although in some places I've left the **
bolding to keep things visually similar to a nearby SYNOPSIS entry.
