Éric Araujo 254d4b851d Tweaks to sys.flags description table.
The options listed in the table are now links to their documentation,
and the table uses compact markup to make it easier to read and edit.
First proposed in #10998.

  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.

Jeffrey Yasskin 655d835415 Issue #6042:
lnotab-based tracing is very complicated and isn't documented very well.  There
were at least 3 comment blocks purporting to document co_lnotab, and none did a
very good job. This patch unifies them into Objects/lnotab_notes.txt which
tries to completely capture the current state of affairs.

I also discovered that we've attached 2 layers of patches to the basic tracing
scheme. The first layer avoids jumping to instructions that don't start a line,
to avoid problems in if statements and while loops.  The second layer
discovered that jumps backward do need to trace at instructions that don't
start a line, so it added extra lnotab entries for 'while' and 'for' loops, and
added a special case for backward jumps within the same line. I replaced these
patches by just treating forward and backward jumps differently.
