Éric Araujo 713d3039dc 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.

Alexander Belopolsky a47bbf5a4b Issue #10446: Several changes to module documentation generated by pydoc:
1. Online reference manual link is now version-specific and the
   'MODULE DOCS' section renamed to 'MODULE REFERENCE'.

2. 'FILE' section is moved to the end of the file.

3. Special names processed by pydoc such as __version__ or __credits__
   are now excluded from the DATA section.

4. Defined __all__ to prevent pydoc from exposing undocumented details
   about itself.

5. Removed Python 2.3 compatibility code.
