Fix usage of :option: in the docs (#9312).
:option: is used to create a link to an option of python, not to mark up any instance of any arbitrary command-line option. These were changed to ````. For modules which do have a command-line interface, lists of options have been properly marked up with the program/cmdoption directives combo. Options defined in such blocks can be linked to with :option: later in the same file, they won’t link to an option of python. Finally, the markup of command-line fragments in optparse.rst has been cleaned to use ``x`` instead of ``"x"``, keeping that latter form for actual Python strings. Patch by Eli Bendersky and Éric Araujo.
