Remove almost all unpaired backticks in docstrings (#119231)

As reported in #117847 and #115366, an unpaired backtick in a docstring
tends to confuse e.g. Sphinx running on subclasses of standard library
objects, and the typographic style of using a backtick as an opening
quote is no longer in favor. Convert almost all uses of the form

    The variable `foo' should do xyz

to

    The variable 'foo' should do xyz

and also fix up miscellaneous other unpaired backticks (extraneous /
missing characters).

No functional change is intended here other than in human-readable
docstrings.

pyrepl uses its own keyspec format that is meant to be a strict superset of
readline's KEYSEQ format. This means that if a spec is found that readline
accepts that this doesn't, it should be logged as a bug. Note that this means
we're using the `\\C-o' style of readline's keyspec, not the `Control-o' sort.
we're using the '\\C-o' style of readline's keyspec, not the 'Control-o' sort.
The extension to readline is that the sequence \\<KEY> denotes the
sequence of characters produced by hitting KEY.
Examples:
`a' - what you get when you hit the `a' key
`\\EOA' - Escape - O - A (up, on my terminal)
`\\<UP>' - the up arrow key
`\\<up>' - ditto (keynames are case-insensitive)
`\\C-o', `\\c-o' - control-o
`\\M-.' - meta-period
`\\E.' - ditto (that's how meta works for pyrepl)
`\\<tab>', `\\<TAB>', `\\t', `\\011', '\\x09', '\\X09', '\\C-i', '\\C-I'
'a' - what you get when you hit the 'a' key
'\\EOA' - Escape - O - A (up, on my terminal)
'\\<UP>' - the up arrow key
'\\<up>' - ditto (keynames are case-insensitive)
'\\C-o', '\\c-o' - control-o
'\\M-.' - meta-period
'\\E.' - ditto (that's how meta works for pyrepl)
'\\<tab>', '\\<TAB>', '\\t', '\\011', '\\x09', '\\X09', '\\C-i', '\\C-I'
- all of these are the tab character.
