[PATCH 2/4] Emphasize options and force ASCIIDOC escaping of "--"

["Jason St. John" <jstjohn@purdue.edu>]

rev-list-options.txt: replace e.g. `--foo` with '\--foo'
rev-list-options.txt: emphasize, instead of quote, some option arguments
    (e.g. "foo-option" becomes 'foo-option')
rev-list-options.txt: force ASCIIDOC escaping of "--" (e.g. '--bar'
    becomes '\--bar')
rev-list-options.txt: add single quote chars around options missing them
    (e.g. --grep becomes '\--grep')
rev-list-options.txt: replaced one instance of "regexp" with "regular
    expressions"
rev-list-options.txt: fix typo in "--no-walk" description ("show" -->
"shown")
rev-list-options.txt: replaced some instances of double quotes with
    their ASCIIDOC equivalent (e.g. """a "-" character""" becomes
    """a ``-'' character""",

Signed-off-by: Jason St. John <jstjohn@purdue.edu>
---
Sorry for the messy quoting in the last set of examples in the commit message.
There wasn't really any way to work around it other than omitting the quotes
around the before and after parts, which I didn't want to do.
