man/*.template: Tweak synopsis style.
Use man(7) font alternation macros instead of *roff font selection
escape sequences. Stop shouting the "OPTIONS" metasyntactic variable
name; this is sometimes the custom of usage messages (where formatting
in multiple typefaces, even bold, is impractical), but not of man pages.
groff_man_style(7):
Unlike the above font style macros, the font style alternation
macros below set no input traps; they must be given arguments to
have effect. They apply italic corrections as appropriate.
...
.RI roman‐text italic‐text ...
Set each argument in roman and italics, alternately.
