Help: Clarify 'cmake --build' signature alternatives
Documentation added by * commit 4f4f2028b8 (Help: Add documentation for buildPresets and testPresets, 2021-01-13, v3.20.0-rc1~51^2~7) * commit 676ecf0d37 (cmake-presets: Add build and test presets, 2020-12-14, v3.20.0-rc1~51^2~6) used square brackets in the `cmake --build` signature to indicate non-optional alternatives, which is not a typical convention. A common convention is to use parentheses instead, but in this case it is probably clearer to list the two signatures separately. Fixes: #22413
