Some of the linker-related entities needed some rewording; others needed a cleanup where emphasized references were turned into live links to entities elsewhere.

Most of the remaining references to command-line options were turned into live links (the addition of anchors for those is relatively recent, they didn't originally use live-linking).

This is a doc-only change.

Contributor Checklist:

  • I have created a new test or updated the unit tests to cover the new/changed functionality.
  • I have updated CHANGES.txt and RELEASE.txt (and read the README.rst).

Unsurprisingly, yes.

Hmmm, I wrote a followup, which seems to have vanished into the ether. It actually needs to be opt-help because of the way the option entries are targged. Updated.

A reference to opt-help was missing the "help" part.
