[PATCH v2 resend v2] doc: git-checkout: fix placeholder markup

[kristofferhaugsbakk@fastmail.com]

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

The placeholder markup is underscore (_), not backtick (`) as well.

The inline-verbatim markup (backticks) handle interior formatting. This
means in this case that it applies HTML `<code>` to the underscores and
`<em>` to the placeholder.

That is the effect, anyway; we can see from the rest of 042d6f34 (doc:
git-checkout: clarify `-b` and `-B`, 2025-09-10) that this was probably
an unintended mix-up.

Notes (series):
    v2 resend:
    Resend as a separate thread this time. v2 is here:
    <v2-cb38c701537.1760716150.git.code@khaugsbakk.name>
    
    v2:
    Add Ack.  I also considered removing “probably” from “mix-up” but
    left it alone as a point-in-time note.  The msg + ack makes it clear.
    
    v1:
    Since this has landed in `master` now.
