Denote all command line options using semantic markup (.. option::)

The markup allows referencing individual options, and also makes them
more legible (no more thin red text on gray background).

Most of the work was done using regexes:
    s/^``-\(.*\)``$/.. option:: -\1\r/
    s/^``+\(.*\)``$/.. option:: +\1\r/
on bin/**/*.rst files along with visual inspection and hand-edits,
mostly for positional arguments.

Regex for rndc.rst:
    s/^``\(.*\)``/.. option:: \1\r/
+ hand edits to remove extra asterisk and whitespace here and there.
