doc options: state that all |-separated tuples need escaping

Browse Source 
For the "completions" option type, the documentation states that |
and \ need to be escaped as \| and \\.
The same parser is for other option types that are lists-of-tuples:
range-specs and line-specs, so they need escaping too. Document that.

Only their last element can contain arbitrary data, so range-specs
and line-specs could work without escaping if we tweaked the parser.
