Matthew Woehlke 277c12a4c7 Help: Improve command usage formatting consistency
Try to be a bit more consistent about:

- Placing angle brackets around text which serves as a placeholder
  rather than being literal.

- Using curly brackets rather than angle brackets to denote groups where
  one of the options is required.

- Describing optional list arguments like `<x>...` rather than
  `[<x>...]`. (Instances of lists not associated with keywords are
  intentionally left as-is, however.)

Also, teach our CMake lexer to understand curly braces used as above
(prior uses were only in parsed literals without syntax highlighting),
and to highlight them (and remaining uses of angle braces) as the type
Punctuation rather than the type Operator, for consistency with square
braces.

On Windows hosts, CMake 3.3 through 3.27 searched additional paths:
``<prefix>/include/<arch>`` if :variable:`CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE`
is set, and |SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PREFIX_PATH_XXX_SUBDIR|.
This behavior was removed by CMake 3.28.

``<prefix>/include/<arch>`` if :variable:`CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE`

When searching for frameworks, if the file is specified as ``A/b.h``, then
the framework search will look for ``A.framework/Headers/b.h``. If that
is found the path will be set to the path to the framework. CMake
will convert this to the correct ``-F`` option to include the file.
