Junio C Hamano 7e7f47a488 git-verify-* doc: update mark-up of synopsis option descriptions
To unify mark-up used in our documentation to a newer convention,
started by 22293895 (doc: apply synopsis simplification on git-clone
and git-init, 2024-09-24), update the documentation pages for 'git
verify-commit', 'git verify-tag', and 'git verify-pack' to

 * use [synopsis], not [verse] in the SYNOPSIS section
 * enclose `--option=<value>` in backquotes
 * do not describe non-option arguments in the OPTIONS section

----
git-verify-pack - Validate packed Git archive files
SYNOPSIS
--------
[synopsis]
git verify-pack [-v | --verbose] [-s | --stat-only] [--] <pack>.idx...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Read each idx file for packed Git archive given on the command line,
and verify the idx file and the corresponding pack file.
OPTIONS
-------
`-v`::
`--verbose`::
After verifying the pack, show the list of objects contained
in the pack and a histogram of delta chain length.
`-s`::
`--stat-only`::
Do not verify the pack contents; only show the histogram of delta
chain length. With `--verbose`, the list of objects is also shown.
`--`::
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
OUTPUT FORMAT
-------------
When specifying the `-v` option the format used is:
object-name type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile
for objects that are not deltified in the pack, and
object-name type size size-in-packfile offset-in-packfile depth base-object-name
for objects that are deltified.
